Faults:

Electrical problems at 73,000 miles. My rear windshield wipers stopped working and my top rear brake lights stopped working. At 80,000 miles my fan broke down. Supposedly the electrical wire that controlled the fan burnt. Cost me $50 to fix because I found a great mechanic. But still has some electrical problems in the same section because my temperature control knob lights would light up only after I tap it a few times. And my rear windshield wipers and top rear brake lights still doesn't work.

At the same time, there was problems with the sensor which stops my engine every now and then while I am in idle. Cost me $200+ to fix.

Now at 95,500 miles, my rear light sensor doesn't work. When I open my trunk, it doesn't know to automatically turn my interior lights on anymore. My hydraulics for my trunk has gone bad (I understand that happens to all cars).

The car doesn't handle the road (wet or dry) very well. Skid on snow and icy roads. When I brake hard and suddenly, it would swerve to the right on it's own.

When I shift gears, I would hear some clanking noise. Scared everyone in the car and outside.

And last, but not least, my rear passenger side window stopped working. It did not want to roll up or down and it was stuck in the middle. My friend had to take the side door panel apart to fix the problem. It turned out that the connection was loose. Now how can that happen when no one has touched the plug since the car was built???!!!

General Comments:

Although I enjoy the comfort of the interior because it's extremely spacious and the seats are cushioned, I do not like the fact that it cost so much to maintain and repair this SUV. It has given me nothing, but headaches since I've had it. I don't even know how long it will last after 95,500 miles!

Where do I start? I have two of these silly things. What was I thinking? Both are 1998 Limiteds. One is a 5.9 and the other is a regular 5.2. Major problems with both.

Bad paint problems on the 5.9. The paint it badly faded on the hood louvers and on the grille... very disappointing especially when it happens around 55000 miles.

The 5.9 has left me stranded before because of a bad relay which cuts fuel off to the vehicle do to an accident, but there was no accident!

Constant problems with the axles in both of the Jeeps.

You name it and it has happened to the 5.2 Jeep.

In both the 5.9 and the 5.2 the heated seats work for about a week after being replaced. I have done that numerous times... I quit, I will just deal with a cold butt!

Check engine lights are a common thing... many transmission problems in both Jeeps.

In both Jeeps the rear windows love to mysteriously roll down.

Jeep dealers are worthless!...can't ever fix anything the first time. I am glad that I have extended warranty or else I would have paid for the Jeeps twice.

General Comments:

Both Jeeps perform great. Especially the 5.9, loads of torque!

Both of these Jeeps tow extremly well. I have a 21' car hauler and can pull cars great.
