ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ENGINE HAD A CLATTER NOISE AND SHORT BLOCK WAS REPLACED. EVER SINCE, THERE HAS BEEN EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHENEVER VEHICLE IS RUNNING - DOES NOT HAVE TO BE MOVING. PREVIOUS ENGINE DID NOT HAVE VIBRATION. OTHER VEHICLES TEST DRIVEN TO COMPARE DO NOT VIBRATE AS STRONGLY. DEALER STATES THIS IS A NORMAL VIBRATION AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. REAR AXLE HOUSING HAD OIL LEAK DUE TO AXLE TUBE NOT SEATED PROPERLY INTO CENTER HOUSING. COMPLETE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS.

I AM IN CANADA, HOWEVER THIS INFORMATION APPILIES TO ALL WRANGLERS AND YOUR REPLY BY PHONE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THE FRONT SEAT BELT, IN ITS UNUSED, RESTING STATE WITH NO PASSENGERS, OVERLAPS THE DORR STRIKER/ LATCH MECHANISM. IF YOU CLOSE THE DOOR ON THE VEHICLE, YOU SLAM THE SEAT BELT IN THE MECHANISM AND TEAR HOLES IN THE SEAT BELT. IT IF THE SAME FOR BOTH OF THE FRONT SEAT BELTS. I HAVE INFORMED THE DEALER, WHO HAS NOT YET REPLACED THE SEAT BELTS, WHICH ARE NOW TORN, AS THEY WOULD GET TORN AGAIN THE SECOND YOU CLOSED THE DOOR. THIS IS A VERY VERY MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT, AND IT IS AMAZING THAT IT HAS ACUTALLY HAPPENED. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT.. I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE DEALER WILL COVER IT UP AND PEOPLE WILL DEFINETLY GET HURT FROM THIS. I KNOW THAT I'M IN CANADA, BUT PLEASE CALL ME ANYWAYS, COLLECT IF YOU HAVE TO. ALSO, DON'T GIVE MY NAME TO JEEP... I DON'T WANT THEM TO SOMEHOW BLACKLIST ME... JUST GO AND TAKE A LOOK AT ANY NEW WRANGLER AND YOU'LL BE SURPRISED. THANKS
