What owners say
In shop for 3rd transmission replacement over about 70,000 miles. Also, a list of repaires too numerous to list cost $3,500 out of pocket since 1999. That does not count thousands of $ in warranty work.
Replaced fuel pump on 2/27/03 after I purchased the jeep used on 2/26/03. Replaced fuel pump again on 3/37/03 (broke down in another state). Took jeep in for transmission failure on 4/3/03. Sat in shop for 30 days while warranty company decided what to do with it. Replaced transmission. Jeep dies in traffic on 5/5/03. Called shop got runaround. Called warranty company and took to another shop. Told it was fuel pump again (warranty company didn't pay the last 550.00 to replace fuel pump) and also the gas tank is deteriorating, warranty company will not cover due to high fuel pump replacement. Also told it could be crank sensor in 4.0l engines. Not happy to pay 9000.00 for a vehicle that has only been driven 3 weeks out of 3 months. Still fighting with warranty company.
Hen shifting from park to reverse it would not shift into reverse, consumer had to try a few times. When shifting to drive, and as soon as vehicle started to go forward, it would pop back into reverse. After numerous visits to dealer, transmission was replaced. This did not remedy the problem.
The vehicles transmission failed & vehicle would not accelerate. Owner has to turn vehicle off for a few minutes and then start it back up. Dealer cant find the problem.
Water in air vent system also leaks under psngr seat soaking carpet. Selectrac transmission failed to shift from full time to 2wd and stuck in part time resulting in unsafe handling.
Transmission failed.
