Outside mirrors on jeep wrangler pre 2004 constantly fall down and you can't see - they cannot be tightened, only replaced mine have been replaced 3 times from jeep service mgr told me it was a problem with the wrangler, that is why they have switched them to a break-away type but now my car is out of the original warranty - it is a danger to drive, because you can't see to the side of you and there are many blindspots with a hardtop jeep wrangler.

Just about every 6 months from when I bought the car, my 17" aluminum wheel rims corroded & oxidize enough to cause heavy flaking that breaks the seal on the tires causing air to leak out. I have come out to flat tires on at least 4 separate occasions. There is nothing wrong with the tires themselves, just the heavy corrosion on the wheels. I have the local tire place take the tires off the rims, scrape the wheels, seal & reinflate the tires just about every 9 months. I've been told chrysler knows about this problem but have never rec'd a recall notice.

The ABS control module failed on my vehicle and had to be replaced. The repair was quite expensive, close to $1,000. In searching the internet I find that this problem is quite prevalent with this vehicle and I am wondering why the manufacturer has not issued a recall. The expensiveness of the repair will surely cause a lot of people to simply disengage the ABS system which creates a safety issue I believe.

While passing at highway speeds the transmission failed. I was forced to either take to the ditch, run the guy off that I was trying to pass or have a head on collision. I took to a ditch to save my family and others. I had the transmission serviced at the dealer on 12/9/2003 and no problems were found. The transmission failed with no warning on 1/5/2004. Both a road side transmission shop and the dealer agreed that there is an ongoing problem with these transmissions. The problem is with the "sun shell" failing. There is currently a revised part in production for incorporation but no recall to cover the consumer.

The transmission started slipping and went out on this vehicle with only 61,000 miles on it. I wrote to gm about it, and they did not respond to my complaint. The fuel pump also went out on this same vehicle at 51,000 miles. Gm is building vehicles of very poor quality and getting premium prices for their vehicles. I am tired of buying american built vehicles and getting junk.
