I bought this 1997 jeep wrangler from a used car dealer in june 2002 with a limited warranty and was told the vehicle pased inspection and had no problems. Since then I have had to have the wiring harness repaired, the fuel pump replaced, the transmission replaced, it has a faulty fuel gauge reading, the intake and exhaust manifold need to be replaced and now the steering linkage or stabilizer bars are faulty.

I bought my 1997 jeep wrangler in june, 2002 from a used car dealer in baltimore, md with an as-is warranty and was told the vehicle had passed inspection and was in good condition. It had 64,000 miles on it and appeared to be good. Since then I have had nothing but problems with this jeep. First the wiring harness, then the transmission, now a diagnosis to replace the intake and exhaust manifold, replaced fuel pump and has a faulty fuel gauge, and possibly the stabilizer bar or steering components. This jeep is costing me more in repairs than the actual value of it. I fear that it is unsafe and that I m facing more expenses if I keep it, but I am still making payments on it. Do I have any recourse as far as lemon law protection, recalls, help!!! I don't know what to do with it.

Fuel pump has malfunctioned five different occasion and has been replaced. Inoperable fuel pump has caused engine to die completely out, without no prior warning which result in loss of all power. Consumer has contacted dealer. Also, part availability is very limited and hard to find. Please provide any further details.

Dealer said no warrenty coverage for manifold due to mileage and age. Called chrysler help line and told maybe cold water or rain got on it and agreed I should have bought extended warrenty. Why isn't the manifold covered under the emission control warrenty. What is more important then getting the exhaust gas to the converter? Instead it goes to the air and creates a safety problem if it gets in the passenger compartment. I see your data bank has other manifold failures alredy and service notices of head bolt maifold issues. Looks like a mfg. Defect since these vehicles are so young. The fuel pump was fixed under warrenty, the car would't start right. The power steering unit continues to leak slowly and the dealer suggest a seal leaking but I have to pay to fix. Great car!

In a 16 month period, I have experienced 3 fuel pump failures. #1 3/3/98 at 34,622 mi. #2 7/9/98 at 43,705 mi. #3 7/3/99 at 67864 mi. This failure has occurred without warning and has left the vehicle inoperable. Chrysler customer assistance has been contacted and they claim there are no known issues with the fuel pump. Dealer claims otherwise. I feel vehicle is unsafe and unreliable.
