1999 Jeep Wrangler body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1999 jeep wrangler had multiple rear differential failures before 70k miles. *ts *** no answer required*** the original drive train was rebuilt using original mopar parts. The drive train failed for the second time at 69000 mile after only 11000 miles of use. This time the dealer refuses to provide any financial assistance. The vehicle had other failures which include water leaks, drive train seals failure, electrical failures, multiple ABS failures, air bag and seat belt problems, and the paint was peeling off the vehicle.
Same electrical cut off problems. Constant burning wire smell. Defrost knobs, and high med low knob stays on low or high, or nothing. Knobs and motors have been replaced 1 time. Different dealers in chicagoland and central il say there is nothing wrong nor any recalls that have to do with this. Tired of spending money. Top of vehicle is very worn, seams are busting out and top is becoming unsafe. Driverside window zipped fell off. Jeep is garaged daily and taken care of but is falling apart.
Recall 99v117000 concerning instrument panel screws. All the instrument gauges are failing to operate. Vehicle had been to dealer for inspection. Dealer informed consumer that this vehicle was not covered under the recall.
Water was leaking into the front passenger compartment of my 1999 wrangler sahara. Chrysler said this was a known problem in the jeep wranglers but is unwilling to conscider this worth looking to repair.
Head of the bolts which hold the hinges has broken off, causing door to disconnect from vehicle. Dealer and manufacturer were notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
During rain and traveling at normal speeds, vehicle starts to tak in water through body welds from floor board and bolts for passenger seat/ firewall leak was repaired by dealer, but body continues to leak uncontrollably/ new vehicle have same problem. Review jep forums for proof.
It seem like all of the exterior components painted black are now chipping. Mainly on the passenger side mirror and on the brackets which hold the window in the hard top.
A body seal on the passenger side allows water to enter the passenger side compartment (front and rear) causing inches of water to accumulate ruining the interior carpet. Nlm
My 99' jeep has leaked water under the seats from the day I bought the car. I had 4 repair attempts where they replaced the door seals x 2, sanded the door frame, resealed the windshield, sealed the seams under the wheels and replaced the carpet 3 times. The car still leaked. I have sent a letter of defect to the manufacture and after the 5 and finial repair attempt the jeep still leaked water under the seats. Chrysler even had an engineer fly down to the service shop and look at the jeep. He told me the leak was fixed. Yesterday it rained and after driving through some puddles water still leaked under the seats.
The floor leaked from the time of purchase, the carpet was ruined, the dealership has replaced the carpet and "fixed" the leak twice, I still do not know if it has been properly repaired as for it has not rained since the last repair was completed. The dealership also confirmed that they have seen several jeeps with the same problem returned for repair. If the dealership is aware of this problem then why has there not been a recall issued by chrysler ???
