POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW AND HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE. SHIFTING IS VERY TIGHT WITH A GRINDING NOISE. THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL. I LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ AND REALLY FRUSTRATED AT THE TIME TAKEN OFF OF WORK TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH NO ANSWERS OR CURES FOR THE PROBLEM AFTER 2 YEARS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WEBBING
SHOULDER HARNESS IN DRIVER SEAT TWIST WHEN BEING RELEASED. THIS CAUSES HARNESS TO BE SLAMMED IN DOOR LOCK WHEN EXITING JEEP. THE REMAING 3 HARNESS ARE OF A DIFFERENT MANUFACURE THEN THE DRIVER SEAT. I HAVE LOST 24 HOURS EACH TIME I BRING THE JEEP FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER/MANUFACTURE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER/MANUFATURE DOES NOT SEEM TO FEEL THE PROBLEM IS IMPORTANT OR SERIOUS. I UNDERSTAND THAT ONLY ABT 70% OF AMERICANS ARE USING SEAT BELTS AND HARNESS'S. SEEMS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO ME.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I HAVE DOCUMENTED FOUR TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO FIX WATER LEAKING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO OTHER TIMES THAT I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT, SINCE IT WAS A RETURN TRIP, THEY DID NOT PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE "DEALER AGENT" THAT PERFORMED THE WORK. ON MY FOURTH & FIFTH TRIP, I DEMANDED WRITE-UPS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH A CHRYSLER FACTORY REP WHO REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING, SINCE ON THE FIFTH TRIP, THE "DEALER AGENT" COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THE FACTORY REP DID SUBSEQUENTLY OFFER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. I HAVE FOUND THE WATER LEAK ON MY OWN AND ON MY SIXTH VISIT TO THE DEALER, I DEMANDED THAT THE BODY SHOP MANAGER VERIFY THE LEAKS. HE DID, AND I RECEIVED A "WORK ORDER" FROM HIM. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK A SIXTH TIME TO BE REPAIRED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE ELECTRICAL OR OTHER PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE DUE TO THE LEAKAGE. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF I GET IT FIXED AGAIN AND IT LEAKS AGAIN, WILL THERE BE ANOTHER PROBLEM. WHILE I HAVE FOUND THE CONDITIONS WHERE IT LEAKS IN, I DO NOT KNOW WHERE OR HOW IT TRAVELS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THUS DO NOT KNOW WHAT DAMAGES MAY HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED, BUT HAVE NOT SURFACED. I HAVE DOCUMENTED 3-28-01 AS THE DATE OF FAILURE SINCE THE EARLIEST DOCUMENT THAT I HAVE DATED FROM THE DEALER IS 3-30-01. I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL FAILURE WAS EARLIER. THE MILEAGE IS CLOSE FOR THAT DATE.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY
MIKE MAURICIO, SERVICE MANAGER STATES THAT LARGE AMOUNT OF "SURFACE RUST" AT 6000 MILES IS NORMAL. IF THIS IS SO, THEN ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE WOULD BE RUSTED OUT BY 30,000 MILES, VEHICLE WOULD EXPERIENCE STRUCTURAL FAILURE, FUEL SYSTEM WOULD LOSE INTEGRITY CREATING FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZZARD. RECOMMEND SAFETY RECALL OF ALL 2000 JEEP WRANGLERS. EMAIL FOR PICS.
