ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WHENEVER MY 97 JEEP WRANGLER'S ENGINE IS SUFFICIENTLY WARMED UP, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPS TO UNDER 20 PSI. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. WHEN THEY CLAIIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT, NO MORE THAN A FEW WEEKS LATER, IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS TIME I TRIED TO CALL THEM ANY LEFT MESSAGES WITH THE MANAGER OF THE SERVIVE DEPATMENT . I WAS NEVER CONTACTED BACK ABOUT THE PROBLEM. WITH MY WORKS SCHEDULE, IT IS HARD FOR ME TO BRING MY CAR IN ALL THE TIME. ALSO WITH REPORTS I READ DEALING WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I WOULD LIKE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM ASAP.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
WHEN JEEP IS STOPPED AT SIDE ANGLE ON HILL, SEATBELT IS INOPERATIVE AFTER GETTING BACK INTO VEHICLE. I HAD TO DRIVE DOWN STEEP HILL TWICE WITH NO SEATBELT ON. SIMPLE MOMENTARY BYPASS BUTTON TO CENTER PENDULUM WOULD ALLOW FASTENING SEATBELT WHEN VEHICLE IS AT AN ANGLE.

#713896October 26, 1999
STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
DEALER SAID NO WARRENTY COVERAGE FOR MANIFOLD DUE TO MILEAGE AND AGE. CALLED CHRYSLER HELP LINE AND TOLD MAYBE COLD WATER OR RAIN GOT ON IT AND AGREED I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRENTY. WHY ISN'T THE MANIFOLD COVERED UNDER THE EMISSION CONTROL WARRENTY. WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN GETTING THE EXHAUST GAS TO THE CONVERTER? INSTEAD IT GOES TO THE AIR AND CREATES A SAFETY PROBLEM IF IT GETS IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I SEE YOUR DATA BANK HAS OTHER MANIFOLD FAILURES ALREDY AND SERVICE NOTICES OF HEAD BOLT MAIFOLD ISSUES. LOOKS LIKE A MFG. DEFECT SINCE THESE VEHICLES ARE SO YOUNG. THE FUEL PUMP WAS FIXED UNDER WARRENTY, THE CAR WOULD'T START RIGHT. THE POWER STEERING UNIT CONTINUES TO LEAK SLOWLY AND THE DEALER SUGGEST A SEAL LEAKING BUT I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX. GREAT CAR!
