EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THE WATER LEAKAGE. WATER WILL LEAK INTO THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN IT RAINS AND WHEN YOU WASH IT. ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONING IS LEAKING WATER UNDER THE CARPET ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I'M THINKING IT'S NOT DRAINING PROPERLY. CHRYSLER'S SERVICE DEPT. WANTS NOTHING TO DO TO HELP ME WITH THESE REPAIRS. IT HAS GONE TO THEM 4 TIMES FOR THE WATER LEAK AND IT WILL BE GOING BACK FOR A SECOND TIME FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE ONE DEALER I WENT WAS FIXED BY ANOTHER DEALER. THEY ARE QUICK TO SELL YOU THE NEW CAR BUT WILL NOT GO BY THEIR WARRANTY.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS MAKING A LOUD RATTLING NOISE LIKE A TIN CAN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THEN I NOTICED IT HAD STOPPED MAKING THE NOISE 2-3 DAYS AGO.THEN JUST YESTERDAY 8-3-99 WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IT HARDLY HAD ANY POWER AT ALL & WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT TO 40 MPH.IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 1 MILE TO REACH THAT SPEED.EVERYTHING HAD BEEN OK WITH THE VEHICLE UP TILL THEN.THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS NO CONVERTER RECALLS ON THIS JEEP AFTER RUNNING THE VIN NUMBER,BUT AFTER I INVESTIGATED FURTHER ON THE INTERNET & TALKING WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE BOTH OWNERS & MUFFLER SHOPS IN MY AREA I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS A FACTORY DEFECT.SEVERAL OF THE MUFFLER SHOPS COMMENTED THAT THEY REPLACE ON AVERAGE OF 6 TO 7 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS A WEEK ON JEEP WRANGLERS ALONE & SOME WITH LOW MILEAGE.AGAIN ,THIS VEHICLE RAN LIKE NEW UNTIL THE NOISE IN THE CONVERTER CAME & WENT.ALSO THIS JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD ONCE.THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER & WHAT I THINK IS A PREMATURE FAILURE.
