ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS, LUCKILY THE PROBLEM WAS CAUGHT BEFORE IT BROKE OFF. I STILL HAVE THE PART IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO EXAMINE IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BY PHONE NUMEROUS TIMES AND ALSO SENT A LETTER WITH PHOTOS OF THE FAILED PART. THEY SAID IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I TALKED WITH TWO MECHANICS WHO TOLD ME THE PART WAS PROBABLY DEFECTIVE SINCE THE JEEP WAS LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. I'M NOT SURE WHEN IT ACTUALLY STARTED TO FAIL, BUT A MECHANIC NOTICED IT IN AUGUST 1999 AND THAT'S WHEN I HAD IT REPAIRED.

SEATS
THE NOTED VEHICLE IS IN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CONDITION AND METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. IT HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED OR USED IN A MANNER NOT INTENDED. MY JEEP AND NUMEROUS OTHERS THAT I HAVE BEEN FAMILIAR WITH HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THE FRONT SEATS BREAK AT THE POINT WHERE THE REAR SEAT BRACKETS BOLT TO THE SEAT. THIS IS ALSO WHERE THE SEAT BACK IS SUPPORTED. FROM INSPECTION IT APPEARS TO BE POOR DESIGN AND METAL FATIGUE. I HAVE ONLY NOTED THIS PROBLEM ON SEATS THAT HAVE A FIXED SEAT BACK/NON RECLINING. THE FAILURE ON MY JEEP WAS A SHOCK DUE TO THE LOW MILAGE AND MILD USE. IN THAT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IT WAS THOUGHT THAT NHSTA MIGHT BE INTERESTED. NEEDLESS TO SAY JEEPS ARE INTENDED FOR OFF ROAD USE AND SEAT FAILURES EVEN ON OLDER MODELS ARE A CONCERN.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY 99' JEEP HAS LEAKED WATER UNDER THE SEATS FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAD 4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS WHERE THEY REPLACED THE DOOR SEALS X 2, SANDED THE DOOR FRAME, RESEALED THE WINDSHIELD, SEALED THE SEAMS UNDER THE WHEELS AND REPLACED THE CARPET 3 TIMES. THE CAR STILL LEAKED. I HAVE SENT A LETTER OF DEFECT TO THE MANUFACTURE AND AFTER THE 5 AND FINIAL REPAIR ATTEMPT THE JEEP STILL LEAKED WATER UNDER THE SEATS. CHRYSLER EVEN HAD AN ENGINEER FLY DOWN TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND LOOK AT THE JEEP. HE TOLD ME THE LEAK WAS FIXED. YESTERDAY IT RAINED AND AFTER DRIVING THROUGH SOME PUDDLES WATER STILL LEAKED UNDER THE SEATS. *AK

EXHAUST MANIFOLD - REAR STUD ON DRIVER'S SIDE HAS BROKEN OFF LEADING TO AN EXHAUST LEAK. CAUSES NOISE AND EXCESS O2 IN EXHAUST SYSTEM SIGNAL COMPUTER TO INCREASE FUEL RICHNESS WHICH TAXES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, CAUSING EARLY FAILURE. CATALYTIC CONVETER HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AS RESULT. DOOR LOCKS - THE DOOR LOCKS ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE HAVE BROKEN, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLOCK DOOR FROM OUTSIDE WITH KEY. BY TURNING KEY, THE LOCK BEGINS TO DISENGAGE, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO UNLOCK DOOR. THIS CREATES NEED TO LEAVE WINDOWS DOWN CONTINUOUSLY IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO VEHICLE BY OPENING DOOR FROM INSIDE THROUGH WINDOW. MAJOR SECURITY ISSUE!
