Faults:

Two weeks after I bought my Jeep, it would not start.

It has had to be towed two times in eleven months.

It burned oil for two months.

It dies in reverse and drive while moving or sitting still.

The rear windows do not roll down all the way.

The passenger side door is the only door with a working power lock.

I cannot move either of my mirrors for my blind spots.

The spare tire has stripped the bolt three times in eleven months.

The two front door dome light buttons are not working.

My emergency brake does not work at all (I seriously think it is there for looks!)

My air conditioner does not work and does not hold a charge.

My suspension clunks every now and then.

My transmission shifts back and forth between two gears at least two times a day.

My Jeep idles at a constant 500 R.P.M.

You cannot brake on ice, especially in four-wheel drive, or you will spin (I know this from experience -- about three of them).

When I bought my Jeep, my headliner was already down (just another little annoying expense).

My rear windshield wiper only has one setting (well, at least when I bought it, the Jeep had two)!

Every time I hit a (mid-corner) bump, the back tries to pass the front.

General Comments:

My Buick has twenty more thousand miles on it (195,000) and it runs ten times better! I have learned my lesson -- If you want to buy an American-made car, stick with a Buick!

Faults:

The paint has chipped and has a dull milky finish on the hood and top.

The oil seals have leaked after being replaced twice.

I have only had the car two full years and have already been through five starters. I don't know if this is a problem with all Jeeps, or the auto-part stores where I have bought all the starters.

General Comments:

It's not the most comfortable car.

Does not handle curves that well.

This Jeep has over 172,000 miles on it and still runs good. Does not burn oil, but does leak some.

Faults:

Alternator @ 93,000 miles.

Rear engine oil seal @ 98,000 miles.

Plastic engine coolant bottle 3 times in the past 4 years. Very poor design.

Transmission mount @ 98,000 miles.

General Comments:

I do enjoy this vehicle for it's good qualities.

It is the best ever in deep snow.

The interior is comfortable and quiet.

The gas mileage is bad, but I like the rest so well.. I accept it.

Lots of power and very reliable.

Faults:

I bought this vehicle from a local D.A.V. auto donation center without the opportunity to even test drive it. I went on visual inspection only.

There were some papers indicating new injectors however.

The brakes were obviously new and under the hood was in natural condition and well maintained.

At some point recently has had the rear-end replaced.

The clear-coat on the paint has failed on the upper surfaces, which for some reason seems to be quite common on this charcoal grey color.

On the interior, the headliner has typically sagged and needs recovering, soon to be done.

I later found a couple of minor interior lighting problems with dome lights and dash. Lights that I expect will be fairly easy to repair.

The rear side windows leaked water around the seals and was repaired.

Also, the rear wiper seems to have come disconnected inside and expect to repair that in warmer weather.

The cruise control switch seems to be defective and will be replaced.

I have replaced the muffler and tail pipe.

General Comments:

This has turned out to be a very tight, strong, and smooth running vehicle.

The engine runs perfectly and does not smoke or use oil.

I am a big, tall guy, and it has plenty of room and is a very comfortable vehicle for me to ride and drive.

All of the upholstery is in very good condition as are the carpets.

No cracks in the dash or rattling parts.

All options except as explained above work well.

It has the Selectrack transmission which is in superb condition.

Even the air blows ice cold.

I absolutely love this vehicle and cannot say enough positive about it.

It is a fine example of what proper maintenance and care can do to extend the life of these vehicles.

It is my first Jeep and am happy I had the opportunity to buy it, especially without even a test drive, only starting the engine.

I have no plans of even considering selling this vehicle, even though several offers have been made with a substantial profit!!!
