ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR HAS A BUCKING AND POOR PROFORMANCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UP LONG HILLS, MAKING 60MPH IMPOSSIBLE. IT HAS BEEN A POOR HIGHWAY PERFORMER, BUT HAS BECOME "ROUGH-MISSFIRING" VERY BADLY 3 TIMES IN THE CAR LIFE. FIRST 2 SERIOUS FAILURES I GOT A ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, RESULTING IN DEALER VISITS. NOW THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS "FIXED" IT IS NOT THERE, BUT THE FAILURE MODE IS. THE CAR EXHAUST PIPE END IS QUITE BLACK, DIRTY RUNNING? THE VALVES AND INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS ARE VERY DIRTY AND HAD TO BE CLEANED OR REPLACED WHEN INSPECTED THE LAST 2 TIMES. IT HAPPENED AT 5K, 12K, AND NOW AT 37K. THE CAR IS NOW ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR OTHER REPAIRS TOTALING AT LEAST 6 TIMES. THIS IS MORE TIMES THAN MY LAST 10 YEAR VEHICLE HAD. (NOT JEEP) AM I NOW OUT OF HELP SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTEE AT 36K? I AM GETTING WORRIED THE CAR WILL NOT PERFORM TO 100K LIKE THIS AS IT MAY BE DAMAGED! WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF MY RIGHTS NOW? THANKS,, SS

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND IN DOING SO FOUND OUT THAT THE FRAME ON MY JEEP IS COMPETELY RUSTED THROUGH. YOU CAN PUT A JACK KNIFE THROUGH IT ANYWHERE. THIS WAS NOT FOUND UNTIL THE PROTECTION PANS UNDER THE JEEP WERE REMOVED. THIS JEEP HAS NOT BEEN USED TO 4 WHEEL OFF ROAD AT AL AND HAS BEN USED AS MY MAIN VEHICLE, WELL KEPT UP AND MAINTAINED. I BOUGHT THIS TYPE OF AUTO BECAUSE OF THE SUPPOSED REPUTATION AND BECAUSE THEY ARE A VEHICLE WHICH HOLDS UP FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I AM DISABLED AND RELY SOELY ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT TO BE TRUSTED ON THE ROAD AT ALL. PLEASE HELP ME, THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS 1992 VEHICLE TO BE IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE FLOOR LEAKED FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE CARPET WAS RUINED, THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE CARPET AND "FIXED" THE LEAK TWICE, I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED AS FOR IT HAS NOT RAINED SINCE THE LAST REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL JEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED FOR REPAIR. IF THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM THEN WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER ???

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD/HEADER CRACKS AT THE BOTTOM ON THE INSIDE PIPE I HAVE TALKED TO A FEW OTHER PEOPLE AND IT IS APPERANTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON 1997 - 2000 MODELS. IT IS AN EMMISSIONS LEAK AND ALSO A POSSIBLE CORBON MONOXSIDE PROBLEM. I KNOW OF 8 JEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I HAVEN'T TALKED TO VERY MANY PEOPLE. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS THE SAME PART THAT IS NOW INSTALLED ON MY JEEP, SO I DON'T EXPECT IT TO LAST VERY LONG.
