ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO(THE FIRST INCIDENT) MY PARKED VEHICLE STARTED ON ITS OWN, NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE IS A MANUAL AND WAS IN FIRST GEAR WITH THE PARKING BRAKE DOWN WHEN IT STARTED UP AND STARTED LURCHING FORWARD INTO THE WALL OF THE GARAGE. I HAD TO TAKE THE BATTERY CABLES OFF OF THE BATTERY TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CRASHING INTO THE WALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMED, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WASN'T ACTULLY HAPPENING AT THE TIME, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SINCE. HONESTLY, I'M AFFRAID TO PARK IT ANYWHERE IN A PUBLIC PLACE BECAUSE IT COULD POSSIBLY ENDANGER THE LIVES OF OTHER MOTORISTS OR PEDESTRIANS NEAR BY. AT THE MOMENT I HAVE IT AT PETERSBURG JEEP/CHRYSLER IN PETERSBURG VA. (804-862-1000) FOR THE LASTEST INCIDENT INVOLVING THIS PROBLEM. ANY HELP OR INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
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.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
CURRENTLY, AFTER CHRYSLER REFUSED TO WARRANTY THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 16, 1999. I AM FURIOUS AT THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED, AND CHYSLER HAS GIVEN NO CUSOMER SATISFACTION, AND HAVE TURNED THEIR NOSES UP IN THE AIR, AND AL OF MY COMPLAINTS PREVIOUS TO TRIAL, BOTH MAIL, AND THROUGH THE PHONE AND PERSONAL FELL ON DEAF EARS. IF YOU WISH, PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT ME, I HAVE PLENTY MORE TO SAY ABOUT THE DEFECT, IT'S CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE OVERALL ASPECT OF HAVING TO SPEND EXTRA TIME AND MONEY TO GO TO COURT TO HAVE A PROBLEM FIXED THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY CHRYSLER A LONG TIME AGO, THANK YOU. *AK
