I originally didn't consider filing a complaint until I had the third major complication occurred. I've since talked to other jeep owners with the 4.0 and have found motor mount and transmission failures are more prevalent than they should be. After the third problem (tranny), I began my search on the internet and found this site. It confirmed my suspicions about the substandard materials that dc is using in major components. I tried to reason with a service rep at dc by explaining that I'm a died in wool jeep fanatic (5 jeep jams) but she basically told me that motor mounts and tranny problems at these early miles is part of the vehicle ownership package. That may be true at dc, but not at other car makers like toyota and ford. This is definitely my last dc product. I'm glad I found this site; I know where to go in the future.

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 32 of 32, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Have had intermittent stalling problem car just loses all power very intermittrently takes5-30 minutes to start again, dealiship attempted to fix but couldn't diagnose. Ultimately car stalled and when started back up engine was knocking, needs new engine now.
My catalytic converter ,and I read they were recalled. I have already paid for the repair out of pocket. Can I be rembursed.
Defective motor mounts that support the engine broke off, causing the engine compartment to move and may have resulted in loss of vehicle control. Dealer replaced motor mounts at owner's expense.
While stopping at a stop sign without any warning there was a big bang. Shroud popped and put a dent in hood of car. Consumer felt that if he was driving on the highway he may have been killed.
Exhaust manifold studs broke causing engine noise and loss of power. Yh
The catalytic converter was making a loud rattling noise like a tin can a couple of weeks ago then I noticed it had stopped making the noise 2-3 days ago.then just yesterday 8-3-99 when I went to drive the vehicle it hardly had any power at all & would not accelerate but to 40 MPH.it would take about 1 mile to reach that speed.everything had been ok with the vehicle up till then.the dealer told me there was no converter recalls on this jeep after running the VIN number,but after I investigated further on the internet & talking with lots of people both owners & muffler shops in my area I think this problem is a factory defect.several of the muffler shops commented that they replace on average of 6 to 7 catalytic converters a week on jeep wranglers alone & some with low mileage.again ,this vehicle ran like new until the noise in the converter came & went.also this jeep has never been off road once.thank you for any help with this matter & what I think is a premature failure.
