STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK PIN HAS A SLEEVE THAT KEEPS COMING OUT AND RUBBING THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE WHEEL. THE DANGER IS, AND FORTUNATLEY THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY BOTH TIMES, THAT THE SLEEVE WILL GET CAUGHT IN THE LOCKING PIN HOLE ON THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF. THIS CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME IMMOBILE!!! THIS IS ONLY CAPABLE OF HAPPENING IN A TURN DUE TO THE ANGLE OF THE HOLE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
BOTH FRONT DISCS ARE BADLY PITTED AND RUSTED. FOR A NEWER VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE, THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM AT THIS POINT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF JEEP CHEROKEES MANUFACTURED BEFORE 1995,SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WRANGLERS HAD A SIMILAR RECALL THAT I'M NOT AWARE OF. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
ACCORDING TO THIS SITE, THE 1994 JEEP WRANGLER HAD A RECALL OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. BEGINNING 31JAN96, I TOOK MY JEEP TO SHELBY MOTORS APROX 7 TIMES BECAUSE OF "RATTLING NOISE" WITH THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THEM "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. NOW THERE IS NO LONGER A WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE, SHELBY MOTORS DECLARES THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER ABSOLVING THEMSELVES OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I APPEALED TO THEIR SENSE OF PROFESSIONALISM AND LOYALTY TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, BUT FOUND THEIR INTEREST DOESN'T LIE IN THE CUSTOMER'S LOYALTY TO THEM BUT RATHER IN THEIR MONEY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION OR SHELBY MOTORS OF ANY RECALL. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED GIVEN I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THIS FOR 4 YEARS.

SEATS
THE SEAT TRACKS ON THE JEEP WRANGLER MODEL FAIL, WITH THE METAL TEARING WHERE A BOLT FASTENS INTO THE SEAT. THIS CAUSES SEAT INSTABILITY AND CAN CAUSE WRECKS OR INJURIES. I FOUND OUT MORE THAN 70 OF THE SAME PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER, WITH NO DATE FOR ARRIVAL GIVEN. MY FIRST TRACK BROKE LAST YEAR, MY SECOND YESTERDAY. I'VE HAD AN ORDER IN FOR BOTH FOR A MONTH NOW. I BELIEVE THE HIGH NUMBER OF ORDERS SHOWS A DANGEROUS, POTENTIALLY DEADLY RISK TO DRIVERS WHERE THE MODEL IS SOLD. *AK
