VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
THE 1997 JEEP WRANGLER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HVAC DAMPERS LITERALLY FALLING APART AND BECOMING UNUSABLE. THE PLASTIC ENDS BREAK OFF AND THE ACTUATORS WILL NOT OPERATE THEM. THE PART HAS BEEN UPGRADED BY CHRYSLER SO THEY NOW THIS EXISTS. IT IS A FAIRLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR (OVER $700). MY IS DONE. THE DEALER DID JUST FINE BUT I HAVE ASK CHRYSLER TO MAKE THIS A SAFETY RECALL. THE DEFROSTERS ARE VIRTUALLY NON USABLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS IS A DANGEROUR SITUATION, DRIVING WITH NO DEFROSTERS. THIS PROBLEMS HAS OCCURRED ON MANY WRANGERS AND AS MY DEALER SAID CHEREKEE AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD RATTLE WHEN IN NEUTRAL AND CLUTCH IS LEFT OUT. RATTLE IS EVEN LOUDER WHEN SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. BOTH THE SELLING DEALER AND ANOTHER JEEP DEALER CLAIM THIS IS A NORMAL NOISE FOR THIS TRANSMISSION AND REFUSE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERS REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I FEEL COMPELLED TO CONTRIBUTE, THIS 2000 IS MY 3RD WRANGLER AND I MUST SAY MOST OF THESE COMPLAINTS SOUND LIKE TRUMPED UP BUNK. ESPECIALLY ABOUT SHIFTING FROM 1ST INTO 2ND AND A GRINDING CLUTCH ON AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION?? THE ONLY PROBLEM I'LL GRANT IS THE WATER IN THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD AND THAT HAPPENED ON MY '91 AS WELL. SO WHAT, IT'S A JEEP FER PETE'S SAKE. AND IF YOU'VE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE GEARSHIFT POPS OUT IN 1ST... STOP PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PROBLEM SOLVED. MY GUT FEELING IS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DRIVE A STCIK SHIFT AND THEY'RE DRIVING A JEEP LIKE A SPORTS CAR. I HATE TO RAG ON OTHER JEEP DRIVERS BUT I'VE SEEN THEM DO IT. STOP WHINING PLEASE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
52,000 ON MY 1999 WRANGLER (HAVE NEVER BEEN "OFF ROADING IN IT). I JUST REPLACED THE RADIATOR WITH AN AFTER MARKET BRAND - NOT JEEPS RADIATOR. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF ORDERING A NEW EXHAUST MANIFOLD (MINE IS CRACKED). ONCE AGAIN I WAS ADVISED TO BUY AN AFTER MARKET MANIFOLD BECAUSE THE JEEP'S MANIFOLD IS A LESSER QUALITY. IT HAS BEEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT BOTH OF THESE REPAIRS ARE FREQUENT ON THIS MODEL AND SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL.
