I HAVE READ ABOUT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR MANIFOLDS CRACKING SEVERAL TIMES ON JEEP WRANGLERS. I THINK THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH THE NEW MANIFOLDS THAT JEEP INSTALLED ON THE 2000 MODEL. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
THROUGH RESEARCH IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT A BAD PAINT JOB CAN CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO FALL OUT OF ITS FRAME. CHRYSLER RECENTLY PAINTED MY CAR UNDER WARRANTY BUT DID A HORRIBLE JOB. THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE SUGGESTED REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO THIS ORGANIZATION: HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/IVOQ/OSCRIPTS/IVOQ/VOQ/VOQ6.CFM I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT CHRYSLER LEFT BOTH THE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR ON MY CAR DAMAGED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THERE IS A HESITATION IN THE ENGINE WHENEVER IT REACHES 2000RPM, UNDER A LOAD. I HAVE HAD THE POWER STEERING PUMP SWITCH WIRING HARNESS REPLACED, AND I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED. THE HESITATION HAS NOT GONE AWAY. THE DEALER STATES THAT NO "CODES" COME UP ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE THEY USE, SO THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. I AM BRINGING IT IN THIS WEEK FOR THE THIRD TIME. *AK

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
THE THROW-OUT BEARING CLIPS BROKE, WHICH CAUSED THE CLUTCH DISC AND PRESSURE PLATE TO BE DAMAGED, HENSE I HAD TO HAVE ALL REPLACED. WHEN I CALLED JEEP TO TRY TO GET THEM TO COVER THIS PART WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRENTY, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A "WEARIBLE ITEM". SO I TOLD THEM IT WAS NOT A WEARIBLE ITEM, AND THEY SAID ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CLUTCH IS A WEARIBLE ITEM, AND THIS SEQUENCE OF ACTIONS HAD LEAD ME TO YOU.

#733903October 10, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
WARPED ROTORS CAUSED BRAKING AND STEERING DIFFICULTIES. ONE ROTOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND THE OTHER ONE NEEDS TO BE TURNED. THIS PROBLEM IS LISTED ON THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AS DISC BRAKE ROTOR PULSATION. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE SO BADLY DURING BRAKING IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. DEALER STATES ROTORS WORE OUT DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR, BUT THE BRAKES PADS HAVE VERY LITTLE WEAR ON THEM AND DO NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. WARRENTY ON BRAKES WAS ONLY GOOD TO 12K.
