IN SOME CASES, THIS ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON JEEP WRANGLERS AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE SWITCH. *TR

• 12/22/2007· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  RADIATOR MADE WITH PLASTIC WHICH LEAKS AT THE TOP WHERE THE PLASTIC IS CRIMPED TO THE METAL CORE. THIS IS AN INEVITABLE PROBLEM ON ALL JEEP (CHRYSLER PRODUCTS) MADE WITH RADIATORS MANUFACTURED USING PLASTIC CAUSING LEAKAGE BEFORE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE RADIATOR IS REACHED. IN SOME CASES, COOLANT IS FLAMMABLE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE NO RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED. *TR

  INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AT PASSENGER AIRBAG OVERRIDE SWITCH SOMETIMES CAUSES RED SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. HITTING THE CENTER CONSOLE NEAR THE OVERRIDE SWITCH CAUSES THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO GO OUT. THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE LIGHT NEXT TO THE OVERRIDE SWITCH THAT SAYS "OFF". THIS LIGHT FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. *TR

  LEAK FROM THE EXAUST MANIFOLD BECAUSE OF DEFECT

• 12/10/2003· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,EQUIPMENT

  FIRST HEARD A PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM JUST PRIOR TO THE EASTER HOLIDAY 2002 AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE INVESTIGATED AFTER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. I WAS TOLD THE WAS A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THE VEHICLE WAS ONE DAY OUT OF WARRANTY (DUE TO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND). AFTER CONSIDERABLE DEBATE, THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR A $150.00 DEDUCTIBLE. NOW A YEAR AND A HALF LATER THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS ARISEN AND THE FACTORY REPAIR IS ONLY WARRANTED FOR 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES. AFTER AN EXCHANGE OF 4 EMAILS WITH DAIMLER/CHRYSLER THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND I AM LIABLE FOR THE FULL REPAIR COST. *LA

• 12/03/2003· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  MANY JEEP WRANGLERS BUILT BEFORE 2001 HAVE A DEFECTIVE MANIFOLD THAT CRACKS, CAUSING EXHAUST PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE REASON JEEP COMPLETELY REDESIGNED THE MANIFOLD IN THE NEWER MODELS. THEY HAVE YET TO SEND OUT A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE LOUD NOISE RESULTING FROM THE CRACKED MANIFOLD, MY CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES ON IT. NOT HIGH MILEAGE BY ANY MEANS. THE MAIN CONCERN I HAVE WITH THIS PROBLEM IS THE HEALTH HAZARD IT POSES TO THE DRIVER. THE SECTION OF THE WRANGLER WHERE THE CRACKED MANIFOLD IS LOCATED IS UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE CAR, WHERE EXHAUST FUMES LEAKING FROM IT SEEP UP INTO THE CABIN VERY EASILY, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURERS OF JEEP ARE VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT DON'T CARE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *NLM

• 11/30/2004· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  1)THE VEHICLE FAILED THE ANNUAL INSPECTION - AND I WAS ADVISED THE REASON WAS "EXHAUST MANIFOLD". 2)I CALLED THE DEALER - WHO THOUGHT MY VEHICLE WAS A "2.5" WHICH ALREADY HAS A RECALL ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, BUT I HAVE A "4.0" WHICH CURRENTLY DOES NOT. I ASKED WHAT HARM IS BEING DONE IF I DO NOT GET IT FIXED - AND WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE THERE IS A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, EXHAUST FUMES ARE FILLING THE CAB (LIKE THE 2.5). I WAS AT THAT TIME ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART. AS IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME, THE PART ON THE 2.5 IS A BOLT THAT ATTACHES TO THE MOTOR, AND WHEN IT BREAKS, LEAKS EXHAUST INTO THE CAB; AND ON THE 4.0 (WHICH I BELIEVE IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM), THAT THERE IS A BREAK IN THE BASE OF THE "Y" PIPE, WHICH ALSO LEAKS EXHAUST INTO THE CAB. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER CUSTOMER LINE 800.992.1997, I ADVISED THAT I WAS AWARE THAT THIS WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND THAT THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON A SIMILAR MODEL; I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THEY COULD DO WAS "REGISTER THE COMPLAINT". I ASKED "HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT A RECALL PROCESS" AND WAS TOLD IT WAS INVOLVED AND COMPLICATED, AND I WAS DIRECTED TO THIS SITE AFTER PRESSING FOR SATISFACTION. I THEN ASKED "HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU RECALL THIS PART?", AND THE REP ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE GIGGLED. I WENT ON TO ASK THAT IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART WOULD I BE REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENDITURE, AND I WAS ADVISED THAT "YES", I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. 3)BECAUSE IT IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION, I AM HAVING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD REPLACED. I CAN MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. *AK

  1999 JEEP SAHARA: PRIL 2002 - GAUGES (ALL DASHBOARD GUAGES INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER) STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED WIRING CLUSTER CONNECTOR AT HAYNES JEEP, RICHMOND, VA.; PAID $108.33 FOR REPAIRS. *AK OCTOBER 2004 - GAUGES (ALL DASHBOARD GUAGES INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER) STOP WORKING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. SAME PROBLEM. HAYNES JEEP ADVISED HAVE TO REPLACE THE WIRING CLUSTER CONNECTOR AGAIN. ASKED HAYNES JEEP TO REPLACE IT FOR FREE AS THIS WAS DONE IN 2002 BY THEM. THEY REFUSED. OCTOBER 21, 2004 - WROTE A LETTER OF COMPLAINT TO MR. RICHARD CARTER, GENERAL MANAGER, HAYNES JEEP. HE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE LETTER. THIS IS A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IN ANY VEHICLE, MUCH LESS HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN 2 YEARS OF GETTING IT FIXED. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH JEEPS AND THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA. I DO NOT THINK THAT THE OWNER OF A VEHICLE MUST FORK OUT $100+ EVERY TWO YEARS JUST TO HAVE THE GUAGES WORK ON A $23,000 VEHICLE!

  THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEADERS HAVE CRACKED IN TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS. THE FIRST CRACK IS LOCATED AT A BEND IN THE HEADER AND THE SECOND CRACK IS NEAR THE WELD AT THE FLANGE WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. THIS LOCATION HAS CRACKED COMPLETELY AROUND THE PIPE, MOSTLY AT THE WELD BUT UPWARDS 1/2" INTO THE MANIFOLD ITSELF.*AK

• 11/16/2005· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  FOUND CRACK IN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BETWEEN THE #1 AND #2 PORTS AT AROUND 68,000 MILES, AFTER DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS I LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 1999 AND OTHER YEARS BACK. MY COMPLAINT IS, IF DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I AM SURE THEY ARE, WHY AREN'T THEY ADDRESSING IT. UNHAPPY WITH DEALER AND STOCK MANIFOLD, REPLACED WITH AFTER MARKET EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEADER. *JB

  THE FLOOR LEAKED FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE CARPET WAS RUINED, THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE CARPET AND "FIXED" THE LEAK TWICE, I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED AS FOR IT HAS NOT RAINED SINCE THE LAST REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL JEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED FOR REPAIR. IF THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM THEN WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER ???

REPAIR OF THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE FRAME ALONG WITH REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPLETE REAR SUSPENSION AND AXLE HOUSING. THIS SAME VEHICLE WAS REPORTED TO YOU 03 NOVEMBER 2016 FOR THE SAME ISSUE INVOLVING THE CENTER SECTION OF THE FRAME RUSTING THROUGH CAUSING THE TRANSFER CASE MOUNT/SKID PLATE TO DROP. SAFETY CAPS WERE INSTALLED ON THE FRAME AT THIS TIME AND THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED BACK INTO SERVICE.

  DEAR SIR OR MADAM: RECENTLY THE AIR CONDITIONING MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT STOPPED WORKING AND THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE SMELL OF SMOKE COMING FROM WITHIN THE DASH BOARD. UPON PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLING THE DASH BOARD'S CENTER CONSOLE AND REMOVING THE AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS IT WAS APPARENT THAT A SMALL FIRE OR OVERHEATED WIRING CONNECTOR HAD MELTED THE FAN SPEED CONTROL SWITCH AND THE AIR OUTPUT SELECTOR SWITCH.

  WARPED ROTORS CAUSED BRAKING AND STEERING DIFFICULTIES. ONE ROTOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND THE OTHER ONE NEEDS TO BE TURNED. THIS PROBLEM IS LISTED ON THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AS DISC BRAKE ROTOR PULSATION. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE SO BADLY DURING BRAKING IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. DEALER STATES ROTORS WORE OUT DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR, BUT THE BRAKES PADS HAVE VERY LITTLE WEAR ON THEM AND DO NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. WARRENTY ON BRAKES WAS ONLY GOOD TO 12K.
