1989 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

REAR DIFFERENTIAL E-LOCKER SEIZED CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP, THIS HAPPENED LUCKILY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN TOW BEHIND A MOTOR-HOME GOING 20 MILES PER HOUR ON A DIRT ROAD TURNING INTO A CAMPGROUND. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE CONTROL AND POSSIBLE CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE RISK IS INTERNAL PARTS INSIDE THE EATON E-LOCKER WERE ABLE TO BECOME LOOSE AND CAUSE THIS JAMB IN THE RING GEAR CAUSING BOTH REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP.

MUFFLER HANGER CAUGHT ON FIRE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. MUFFLER HAD HOLE IN BOTTOM BUT STILL SHOULD NEVER IGNITE THE HANGER.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 1993 JEEP WRANGLER FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE. WE HAVE A 89 WRANGLER AND THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. WHY ISN'T IT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL IF IT'S THE SAME BRAKE SYSTEM? IT WAS RELEASED ON MAY AND ROLLED DOWN A STEEP HILL AND HIT A TREE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *LA

THE CONSUMER SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND EXITED VEHICLE. WITHOUT WARNING THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARD WHICH RESULTED IN A COLLISION. THERE WAS A RELATED RECALL 02V041000, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB *CB *NLM

I OWN A 1989 JEEP WRANGLER WITH A MANUAL TRASMISSION. ON LATELY THE PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN SELF-RELEASING CAUSING THE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. ON ONE OCCASION IT HIT MY SECOND VEHICLE PARKED BEHIND IT CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER. I FOUND THE NHTSA RECALL (02V041000) CALLED DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. I SPOKE WITH TOM AND RACHEAL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT AFFECT MY YEAR VEHICLE EVEN IF THE ARE THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE THIS REPAIRED BUT THEY SEEMED UNCONCERED ABOUT THIS AND SAID THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY TO REPAIR THIS.*AK

LEAKING FUEL FROM PASSENGER SIDE REAR. THIS OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL. *JB

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLES VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE RECALL WAS ON THE THROTTLE. RECALL# UNKNOWN. *NLM

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT WITH THE PARKING BRAKE AS STATED IN RECALL NUMBER 02V041000, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INLCUDED IN THE RECALL.*JB

PER EMISSIONS RECALL # 556 THE OYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACE ON 02-08-95. THE REST OF THE RECALL COMPONENTS WERE EXAMINED AND DEAMED FINE. IT IS NOW THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NUTS AND BOLTS ARE FAILING AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT THINK THAT THEY/CHRYSLER SHOULD NEED TO REPLACE THEM. I AM TRYING TO GET ANSWERS IN TERMS OF IF ALL THESE COMPONENTS WERE STATED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY FAIL, WHY WERE THEY NOT ALL REPLACED AT THE TIME OF ORIGINAL SERVICE AND NOW THAT THEY ARE FAILING NOW, SHOULDN'T IT STILL BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL? THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OXYGEN SENSOR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FAULTY THE NUTS AND BOLTS THAT HOLD THE SECURE FIT OF THE MANIFOLD TO THE ENGINE TO PREVENT EMISSION LEAKAGE.

WHILE PARKED ON A HILL, THE VEHICLE WILL ROLLBACK DUE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE POPPING OUT.*JB
