1999 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 1999 WRANGLER, WITH ONLY 70000 MILES ON IT, AND THE ENTIRE REAR END GAVE LOOSE. NOW I HAVE A WRANGLER, THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY WORTH 14000, THAT IS NEITHER WORTH THAT NOR IS IT DRIVABLE, AND ON TOP OF THAT I HAVE TO SHELL OUT 1000 DOLLARS IN MY OWN MONEY TO FIX THE THING. *JB

THE 2 REAR BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK AT ALL. HOWEVER, THE REAR HIGH MOUNTED BRAKE LIGHT FUNCTIONED. *JB

THE DEFROSTER BLOWER MOTOR FAILED. WHEN WORKING, IT ONLY FUNCTIONED ON THE LOW AND HIGH SETTINGS. THERE WAS A RELATED RECALL, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. *JB

ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FAILED. THE CONSUMER HAD TO STRIKE THE DASH BOARD OR RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO FUNCTION AGAIN. RELATED RECALL 99V117000, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. *JB

TSB NO. 08-15-99 INTERMITTENT AIR BAG WARNING AND CLUSTER OPERATION CREATES A HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION . *JB

ON 2 OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLED BACKWARDS AND HIT A GAS PUMP AND A VEHICLE. *JB

GEAR SLIPPED OUT OF PARK AND WENT INTO REVERSE, WHICH CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS. *JB

HEARD LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE AREA DEALERS HAPPEN TO HAVE THE NEWLY DESIGNED MANIFOLD IN STOCK DUE TO THE PROBLEMS WITH THE MANIFOLD CRACKING. HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THEM. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED. THE NEW MANIFOLD HAS SPRINGS BUILT IN TO MAKE ROOM FOR GIVE -- THE OLD ONE DID NOT, THEREFORE CAUSING THEM TO CRACK. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND COSTS A LOT TO GET IT FIXED. *JB

4 OUT OF THE 5 ORIGINAL WHEELS ON A 1999 JEEP WRANGLER ARE OUT OF ROUND. VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHIMMY AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. USED AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE.*JB

52,000 ON MY 1999 WRANGLER (HAVE NEVER BEEN "OFF ROADING IN IT). I JUST REPLACED THE RADIATOR WITH AN AFTER MARKET BRAND - NOT JEEPS RADIATOR. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF ORDERING A NEW EXHAUST MANIFOLD (MINE IS CRACKED). ONCE AGAIN I WAS ADVISED TO BUY AN AFTER MARKET MANIFOLD BECAUSE THE JEEP'S MANIFOLD IS A LESSER QUALITY. IT HAS BEEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT BOTH OF THESE REPAIRS ARE FREQUENT ON THIS MODEL AND SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL.
