I OWN A 2000 JEEP WRANGLER WHICH I BOUGHT NEW. RECENTLY I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD POP OUT WHILE DRIVING. SOON AFTER I BEGAN TO HAVE BRAKE ISSUES AND HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN A JEEP RUSTED OUT SO BAD WITH SO FEW MILES ON IT AND SAID IT WAS A HAZARD TO DRIVE. HE SAID THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AS WELL AS THE SUPPORT FOR THE TRANSMISSION . HE SAID THE FRAME WAS IN TERRIBLE SHAPE AND SAID I WAS LUCKY THE THING DIDN'T FALL APART WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I PURCHASE THIS 2000 JEEP WRANGLER FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND PAID THE COVERAGE WARRANTY DURING THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THERE WAS A WEILDING UNDERNEATH THE AXLE AND TOLD THE SALESMAN ABOUT IT AND HE SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT, IT WON'T CAUSE ANY DAMAGE. FOUR MONTHS LATER THE AXLE BROKE ON A FREEWAY FOR NO REASON. WE TOLD THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T EVEN HELP US WITH THE PROBLEM AND QUOTING US 1,000 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED FROM A JEEP WRANGLER DEARLERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM WAS ALREADY THERE WHEN WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT BEFORE SELLING IT TO US. THE WARRENTY WE PURCHASED DID NOT COVER THE DAMAGE BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER WARRENTY. SO,THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND NEED TO TOW IT TO A PROFESSIONAL BODY LIFTING SHOP. WE TOWED IT THERE AND IT COST US 500.00 TO FIX THE DAMAGE THAT WAS ALREADY THERE IN THE BEGINNING WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

NEW TRANSMISSION AT 479 MILES PLUS SEVERAL OTHER REPAIRS. SPEEDOMETER OFF 8 MILES PER HOUR. THIS PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. DING IN DOOR POST BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S DOOR ON DELIVERY. WIND NOISE ABOVE PASSENGER DOOR FRAME. LEAKS AROUND DRIVER AND BACK DOOR SEALS. OIL GALLERY PLUG HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 3,149 MILES. HAD TO REMOVE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE. JEEP WAS IN SHOP FOR A TOTAL OF 32 DAYS IN ORDER TO HAVE ALL WORK ACCOMPLISHED. NEW TRANSMISSION STILL NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR SOMETIMES WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING FORWARD. NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED, BUT PROBLEM OF CLUNKING SOUND DURING GEAR CHANGE AND KICKING OUT OF GEAR IS NOT SOLVED. WAS TOLD BY AGENCY SHOP THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAD A NEW MANFACTURER FOR 2000 JEEP TRANSMISSIONS AND THE NOISE WAS JUST PART OF THE LIGHTER TRANSMISSON. TRANSMISSION STILL IS NOISY AND SOUNDS DRY ALL THE TIME. WE ARE AFRAID TO DIRVE THE VEHICLE AS WE DON'T REALLY HAVE FAITH THE TRANSMISSION WILL HOLD UP AND WE WILL BE IN TROUBLE AT SOME POINT IN TRAFFIC.*AK
