1999 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

THE THROW-OUT BEARING CLIPS BROKE, WHICH CAUSED THE CLUTCH DISC AND PRESSURE PLATE TO BE DAMAGED, HENSE I HAD TO HAVE ALL REPLACED. WHEN I CALLED JEEP TO TRY TO GET THEM TO COVER THIS PART WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRENTY, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A "WEARIBLE ITEM". SO I TOLD THEM IT WAS NOT A WEARIBLE ITEM, AND THEY SAID ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CLUTCH IS A WEARIBLE ITEM, AND THIS SEQUENCE OF ACTIONS HAD LEAD ME TO YOU.

REAR SEATBELTS WEARING THROUGH FROM RUBBING THROUGH EXIT FROM RETRACTOR HOUSING. THIS APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY FLAPPING OF THE BELT WHEN THE TOP IS REMOVED AND VEHICLE IS MOVING. *AK

WARPED ROTORS CAUSED BRAKING AND STEERING DIFFICULTIES. ONE ROTOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND THE OTHER ONE NEEDS TO BE TURNED. THIS PROBLEM IS LISTED ON THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AS DISC BRAKE ROTOR PULSATION. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE SO BADLY DURING BRAKING IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. DEALER STATES ROTORS WORE OUT DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR, BUT THE BRAKES PADS HAVE VERY LITTLE WEAR ON THEM AND DO NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. WARRENTY ON BRAKES WAS ONLY GOOD TO 12K.

IF INTERIOR OF VEHICLE BECOMES DAMP - EITHER THROUGH RAIN WITH TOP INADVERTANTLY LEFT DOWN, OR BY CLEANING AS INDICATED (WITH HOSE) IN OWNER'S VIDEO TAPE AND INFORMATION - THE CLOCK SPRING SHORTS OUT CAUSING 1) AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILURE 2) HORN TO GO OFF CONSTANTLY 3) INTERMITTENT DRIVABILITY CONCERNS. DEALERSHIP CONTINUALLY REPLACES RUSTY CLOCK SPRING - HOWEVER HAS NO RESOLUTION FOR SITUATION CAUSE BY NORMAL USE AS INDICATED IN OWNER'S INFORMATION (AND ALL OTHER PREVIOUSLY OWNED JEEP WRANGLERS). *AK

WAS DRIVING 50MPH & THE DRIVER FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL AND VEHICLE HIT A TELEPHONE POLE. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. DRIVER WAS WEARING SEAT BELTS AT THE TIME. SUFFERED SOME BRUISES & SPRAINS. *AK

CONSUMER HAS BEEN WAITING THREE WEEKS FOR A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT FOR THE SEATBELT. THE DEALERSHIP IS VERY COURTEOUS, BUT THEY SAY THERE IS A BIG BACK LOG OF ORDERS FOR THIS PART. *YD

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A 50 MPH FRONTAL COLLISION IN WHICH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSE UNKNOWN. *AK

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY INTO A TREE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

MY 99' JEEP HAS LEAKED WATER UNDER THE SEATS FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAD 4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS WHERE THEY REPLACED THE DOOR SEALS X 2, SANDED THE DOOR FRAME, RESEALED THE WINDSHIELD, SEALED THE SEAMS UNDER THE WHEELS AND REPLACED THE CARPET 3 TIMES. THE CAR STILL LEAKED. I HAVE SENT A LETTER OF DEFECT TO THE MANUFACTURE AND AFTER THE 5 AND FINIAL REPAIR ATTEMPT THE JEEP STILL LEAKED WATER UNDER THE SEATS. CHRYSLER EVEN HAD AN ENGINEER FLY DOWN TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND LOOK AT THE JEEP. HE TOLD ME THE LEAK WAS FIXED. YESTERDAY IT RAINED AND AFTER DRIVING THROUGH SOME PUDDLES WATER STILL LEAKED UNDER THE SEATS. *AK

AT 28 THOUSAND MILES ROTORS WERE UNDER SAFTY STANDARDS. CONSUMER HAD ROTORS CHANGED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATON. *AK
