AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
AS PER SERVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS ALREADY SUBMITTED, MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER WAS PURCHASED EARLY IN 2000 WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL OTHER GAUGES STOP WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY DID A REPAIR ON THE PART AND IT WORKED OKAY FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND SINCE THEN, 20,000 + MILES LATER IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN. I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. IT STILL OCCURS ERRATICALLY, BUT ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS OVER 1 YEAR AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR HAS 30,000 MILES, HAS NOT BEEN "OFF ROAD" OR MISUSED. PROBLEM(S) STARTED AT ABOUT 27,000. . INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO LOSE POWER. IF MOTOR IS STOPPED AND RESTARTED, POWER COMES ON AGAIN. *AK 2. INTERMITTENTLY, HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHEN SIGNALING FOR A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THEN TURN ON AGAIN WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS OFF. 3. AIR CONDITIONER INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO COOL ASSOCIATED WITH AN ELECTRICAL SMELL BEFORE FINALLY FAILING TO COOL ALTOGETHER. 4. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GO ON AND OFF. NO CONSEQUENCES TO DATE OTHER THAN THE STRESS OF HAVING AN UNDEPENDABLE AND HOT VEHICLE IN MIAMI. MECHANICS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I AM TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW AIR CONDITIONER BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE IT AT THIS TIME.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
ON FEBRUARY 4, 2004 I TOOK MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER TO BOB MAYBERRY CHRYSLER DODGE, JEEP, INC. IT WAS VERY NOISY AND MORE GASOLINE THAN USUAL. THEY SAID THAT MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS BROKEN AND THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 61,935. THE WARRANTY FOR THAT YEAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS 36 MONTHS I WAS TOLD. THIS REPAIR WAS NEARLY $700.00 AND IS SOMETHNG THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD GO WRONG ON ANY OTHER CAR I EVER HAD. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT THE COMPANY HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SOME TIME NOW, AND REFUSED TO RECALL THE POORLY DESIGNED AND POORLY CONSTRUCTED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU FORCE THEM TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AND RETURN ALL OR PART OF MY SERVICE BILL. MY VIN IS 1J4FY9S7XP414936. WHEN I CALLED THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS JUST TOO BAD, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I HAVE REPLACED THE EXHUAST MANIFOLD TWICE BECAUSE IT HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE Y CONNECTOR AT THE PIPE.NOW I WILL GO WITH A BORLLA EXHUAST UNIT TO SEE IF THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT CAN BE CORRECTED. WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE A DEFECT IN THE MOTOR MOUNTS THAT ARE TOO WEEK AND ALLOWS THE MOTOR TO LIFT TOO FAR AND STRESS THE PIPE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I LOVE MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY TILL NOW. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE OWNED MANY NEW CARS OVER THE YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EITHER ONE HAVE HEARD OF AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD GOING BAD. WHEN HAVING THE MANIFOLD REPLACED WE WERE TOLD IT HAS BEEN REDESIGNED AND IS DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE REPLACED. IT HAD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, MAINLY AT THE WELDS. I FILL SINCE I NEVER TAKE IT OFF ROAD THAT THIS SHOULD NOT OF HAPPEN. NOT TO MENTION IT WAS VERY COSTLY. I FILL SINCE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM I SHOULD BE REVERSED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. *JB
