While driving at approximately 70 MPH the cloth top came off the vehicle. Owner had to hold it down with his hand. Owner contacted the manufacturer, and was told that this defect did not fall under the warranty.

Front brake vibrate violently,and have been changed 4 times within the 1.5 yrs I have owned the truck. My drivers seat frame is cracked (the metal frame) I use a pillow to keep it streight because it leans to thee left due to the weld crack in the frame. I have gotten no where with 2 different dealerships and shelled out well over 2.000 dollars on rotors and brakes. The rear brakes hardlry work also I can pull I=the emergency brake and the truck will not even slow down the fronts do all the work and it has been in for brake repairs by several different shops. There must be a recall because thie is a severe danger and is going to really cause a problem or worse deaths.

I purchased a new 2004 jeep wrangler sport on sept 30,2004. On oct 1, 2004 I discovered defective paint on the left front fender near the engine compartment(appears to be a chemical contaminant as well as grazing of the base coat), dent on the underside of the right hand passenger door, welding splatters on the right front fender, dents on the inside of the right front fender, right front fender is warped. All body damage appears to have been pre-delivery. Dealer service personnel told me to ignore the paint damage. I dont understand how the vehicle left the factory in this condition. Iam disgusted and depressed after spending $26,000 dollars on this jeep. Iam a u.s. Navy veteran, aviation structural mechanic.
