1989 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

METAL FRAME UNDERNEATH DASHBOARD WAS RUSTED. DEALER CONTACTED. PLEASE ADD VIN. *AK

CARBURATOR WAS RUNNING TOO MUCH FUEL TO EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH CAUSED EXHAUST SYSTEM TO BECOME CHERRY RED & CATCH ON FIRE IN BACK. UNDERBODY PAINT HAD BURNED. RUBBER MOUNTING HAD ALSO BURNED.*AK CONSUMER FEELS THERE WAS AN ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION. *SLC

THE VEHICLE TENDS TO STALL AND NOT WANT TO START FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 20 MINUTES I WONDERED IF ANY OF THE RECALLS HAD NOT BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE, THAT WOULD AT LEAST GIVE ME SOMETHING TO GO ON AS FAR AS TRYING TO FIX IT, ALSOHOW LONG ARE RECALLS GOOD FOR AFTER THE RECALL IS ANNOUNCED?

TAIL PIPE MAKES CONTACT WITH GASOLINE TANK DUE TO FAILURE OF THE PIPE SUPPORTS, CONSUMER FEELS THE SUPPORTS WERE POORLY DESIGNED, THE EXHAUST PIPE IS A FEW INCHES FROM CONTACT WITH GASOLINE TANK WHICH BURNED A HOLE AND RESULTED IN A GASOLINE SPILL. *SLC

I HAD A FLAT ON THE TIRE THAT WAS ON THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO USE THE TEMPORARY TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE JEEP. I WAS TRAVELING ALONG THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HAD TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT BUT THE JEEP HAD NO BRAKES TO STOP. THE TEMPORARY TIRE HAD RUBBED A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LINE ONT THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT. I HAD NO BRAKES SO I HAD TO GET A TAXI TO TAKE ME HOME. I HAD TO BUY A NEW BRAKE LINE AND ASSEMBLY FOR THE JEEP AND HAVE A MECHANIC REPLACE THE LINE ALONG WITH HAVING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE SHOP. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANYONE IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM FROM BEHIND AND BEEN SIGHTED FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. I THINK THE COMPANY SHOULD BE WARNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT I HAD WITH THE TEMPORARY TIRE AND IT COULD CAUSE A VERY SEVERE ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN AND MAYBE DEATH TO SOME INNOCENT CHILD OR FAMILY. *AK

DRIVERS SIDE SHOLDER/LAP BELT SPONTANEOUSLY RELEASES. INQUIRED IF DEALER HAD RECALL MEMO TO REPLACE IT, WAS TOLD NO.

ITERNAL SLAVE CYLINDER FAILED 4 TIMES IN 3 1/2 YEARS. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS KNOWN THOUGH OUT THE JEEP COMMUNITY. TO ADD TO THIS PROBLEM IN ORDER TO CHANGE THIS PART ONE MUST REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A MAJOR JOB AND COST ABOUT $600 TO DO.

CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE STALLING/KILLING/ROUGH IDLE SINCE EARLY 1998. $3,000+ INVESTED TO TRY TO CORRECT PROBLEM HAS RESULTED IN THIS VEHICLE GOING FROM TRANSPORTATION TO EXPENSIVE ADDICTION TO DESTRUCTIVE LIFE STYLE. IS THERE ANY KIND OF SUPPORT GROUP FOR OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF ILL MANNERED VEHICLE. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BAFFLE JEEP DEALERSHIP MECHANICS, SHADE TREE MECHANICS, MUFFLER SHOPS, OTHER JEEP OWNERS, AND THOSE POSSESSING MORE COMMON SENSE THAN MYSELF WHO WOULD HAVE TRADED THIS PARTICULAR JEEP FOR A SCHWINN LONG AGO. MJS *AK

ENGINE MANIFOLD LEAKED, CAUSING A FIRE WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. DEALER HAS REPLACED ENGINE MANIFOLD 6 TIMES. *AK

IN 1993 MY CAR ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE, ALLEGEDLY DUE TO AN UNKNOWN REASON. I HAVE CONTINUALLY HAD CARBURETOR PROBLEMS AND HAVE HAD 2 REBUILT ONES AND A CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED. I NOW NEED A FOURTH CARBURETOR. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR WILL CATCH FIRE AGAIN.
