1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ Four Cylinder from North America
Summary:
A truly great American made product
Faults:
I had to replace one of the oxegyn sensors shortly after I bought it.
The seat has started to wear on the driver's side.
General Comments:
This is the best vehicle that I have ever owned. I plan on never getting rid of it.
I have punished this jeep like you would not believe. I've had it in mud up to the parking lights, and I've had it on about every 4wd trail in the Western North Carolina Mountains. I've taken it over terrain as rough as that of the famous Rubicon, and after all of this it still takes me to work and back every day. But the best part is the fact that it's stock!
The only real gripe that I have is that it is hard to drive at highway speeds if the wind is blowing. Even the wind coming off of transfer trucks is enough to make you swerve.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I had problems with my Wrangler right after I purchased it. It was a "buy back" due to the smell of exhaust. I knew there wasn't something right with it as I had to rev it to the limit in order to shift or it lagged out. The dealer kept assuming it was my driving until 6 months down the road it sounded like my exhaust had fallen off. Come to find out, the catalytic converter was all chewed up. factory defect. They replaced it free of charge, however 4 yrs. down the road, it happened again. thank god Chrysler had sent me an extended warranty on it. I had it replaced, again, free of charge. Now that my Wrangler is 7yrs. old, I'm a little worried that it'll happen again and I'll be left holding the bill. Twice is scary enough, I don't want to have to foot the bill for something that obviously is and has been defected.
Can anyone tell me where the ground for my radio is? I had a tune up done on the Jeep and now my radio comes in all static and buzzing. I'm thinking they accidentally unhooked it while they were changing something.
Thanks.
