ON FEBRUARY 4, 2004 I TOOK MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER TO BOB MAYBERRY CHRYSLER DODGE, JEEP, INC. IT WAS VERY NOISY AND MORE GASOLINE THAN USUAL. THEY SAID THAT MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS BROKEN AND THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 61,935. THE WARRANTY FOR THAT YEAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS 36 MONTHS I WAS TOLD. THIS REPAIR WAS NEARLY $700.00 AND IS SOMETHNG THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD GO WRONG ON ANY OTHER CAR I EVER HAD. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT THE COMPANY HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SOME TIME NOW, AND REFUSED TO RECALL THE POORLY DESIGNED AND POORLY CONSTRUCTED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU FORCE THEM TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AND RETURN ALL OR PART OF MY SERVICE BILL. MY VIN IS 1J4FY9S7XP414936. WHEN I CALLED THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS JUST TOO BAD, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.

I HAVE REPLACED THE EXHUAST MANIFOLD TWICE BECAUSE IT HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE Y CONNECTOR AT THE PIPE.NOW I WILL GO WITH A BORLLA EXHUAST UNIT TO SEE IF THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT CAN BE CORRECTED. WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE A DEFECT IN THE MOTOR MOUNTS THAT ARE TOO WEEK AND ALLOWS THE MOTOR TO LIFT TOO FAR AND STRESS THE PIPE.*AK

I LOVE MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY TILL NOW. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE OWNED MANY NEW CARS OVER THE YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EITHER ONE HAVE HEARD OF AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD GOING BAD. WHEN HAVING THE MANIFOLD REPLACED WE WERE TOLD IT HAS BEEN REDESIGNED AND IS DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE REPLACED. IT HAD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, MAINLY AT THE WELDS. I FILL SINCE I NEVER TAKE IT OFF ROAD THAT THIS SHOULD NOT OF HAPPEN. NOT TO MENTION IT WAS VERY COSTLY. I FILL SINCE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM I SHOULD BE REVERSED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. *JB

DEFROSTER/HEATER BLOWER MOTOR AND SWITCH QUIT. REPLACED AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE, WITHIN A YEAR & A HALF. FIRST, ONLY ONE SPEED ON THE FAN WORKS THEN NOTHING.

MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL SAYS, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL SYSTEM AS PER THE JEEP DEALER! PLEASE HELP... THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT THE RECALL IS NOT ON MY JEEP WHEN IT'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL SAYS! THANKS. *AK

THERE IS A CRACK IN MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD IN MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN I LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM, I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. I ALSO LEARNED FROM A DIAMLER-CHRYLSER DEALER THAT THEY REPLACE OVER 250 OF THESE A DAY. AND IN 2000, THEY CHANGED THE PART. THIS MAKES ME THINK THEY REALIZED IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND DID NOTHING TO THE VICTIMS THAT HAD THE DEFECTIVE PART. *LA

WHILE DRIVING SPEEDOMETER DID NOT WORK. DRIVER DID NOT KNOW HOW FAST THE VEHICLE WAS GOING. *AK
