1998 Jeep Wrangler SE 2.3L I-4 from North America
Summary:
Too much fun
Faults:
Nothing ever went wrong with this car that could have been avoided.
It's a Jeep so I decided to take it off road. I went over a jump and from that point on the front end never felt the same. It went to countless mechanics who all said nothing was wrong with it, but I didn't feel safe. Needless to say I drove it anyway and decided I didn't care anymore. Nothing else ever went wrong with it. The Jeep was my sister's until 41,000 when I got it.
I think maybe the electrical system was a little fuzzy for some time, but it was fixed.
General Comments:
Horrible on gas. I wish it was a stick. Never get the 4-cyl, but it's a great motor, just weak. Awesome off road and a lot of fun with the top down.
I don't have it anymore since I got hit on the driver's door by a guy doing 70. I didn't roll and only obtained a minor concussion from the roll bar, but it was definitely a sturdy car to take that kind of beating I put it through. I miss it to this day and recommend it to anybody.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I just read the two comments. I don't know what has happened with your two cases, but I also have a 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. I have not experienced any of the problems you have. It has the automatic and is working fine. My car belonged to my step-mom, and now me. It has crossed the country from Arkansas to California, been through Colorado winters, and now Arizona summers. It has almost 93,000 miles on it and no major problems yet. It has had regular servicing, and yes, there have been some minor things. I have noticed no rust anywhere, and it has been coated with ice slicer through winter in CO. I don't know, maybe I just got lucky with mine, but I have experienced nothing major like listed in the other comments.
