2001 Jeep Wrangler

I BELIEVE THE JEEP WRANGLER BUILT BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS SAFETY DEFECTS THAT CONSTITUTE A SERIES OF SAFETY HAZARDS. 1. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AND ENGINE RPM ACCELERATING ON BREAKING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY JEEP ENGINE RPMS RACED AND THE VEHICLE LEAPED FORWARD WHILE BREAKING AND COMING TO A STOP. SINCE THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH REGULARITY THE DEALERSHIPS CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. 2. FRONT SEAT BELTS. THE FRONT SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT SMOOTHLY, QUICKLY AND WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT IN THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM. 3. FULL SIZE DOORS. THEY DO NOT CLOSE AND SECURE FULLY AS THE DOOR IS AJAR UNTIL YOU RE-CLOSE THE DOOR WITH FORCE. 4. BREAK NOISE. I GET A CONSISTENT CLACK NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKS. I HAVE HAD THE DEALERSHIP WORK ON THIS PROBLEM ON FIVE OCCASIONS TO INCLUDE A COMPLETE BREAK SERVICE. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. 4. BUILD QUALITY. SINCE I BOUGHT THE WRANGLER I HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED (IT LEAKED), ALL THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED (ROUGH IDLE), INSIDE RIGHT DOOR HANDLE ASSIST AND SNAP ON FRONT FLOOR MAT REPLACED, THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED (THEY SAID THE FACTORY DID NOT DO IT RIGHT), FUEL PUMP REPLACED (GAS LEAK), SEALS AROUND GAS TANK AND GAS CAP (VAPOR LEAK), AND THE REAR SEALS (WHICH WERE NOT COVERED UNDER MY CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY). 5. CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY. NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR CHRYSLER WANTED TO ADDRESS THE BREAK PROBLEM WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR A BREAK SERVICE. *NM

DRIVING THROUGH WATER RESULTS IN CHRONIC WATER ACCUMULATION IN VEHICLE (FRONT DRIVER & PASSENGER FLOOR, REAR DRIVER & PASSENGER FLOOR, AND TAILGATE FLOOR). THIS BEGAN THE VERY FIRST TIME I DROVE THROUGH WATER WITH THE VEHICLE. THAT WAS OVER 2 YEARS AGO. SINCE THEN, THIS PROBLEM HAS PLAGUED MY VEHICLE ... OCCURING AT LEAST 3 MAJOR TIMES SINCE THEN. AS A RESULT, I'VE HAD DAMAGE TO WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BE ON THE FLOOR AT THE TIME (BOOKS, CLOTHES, SHOES, WALLET, PURSE). NOT TO MENTION THE SMELL!*AK

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SLIP.*AK A NEW TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE INSTALLED. THERE WAS A LEAKING TANK SEAL. WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE A/C AND HEATER HOSES. THERE ARE HOLES AT THE BULK HEAD. THERES A FAULTY KEY CYLINDER. THE PASSENGER DOOR IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND CLOSE. THERE ARE 2 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. ONE FOR A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH AND THE OTHER FOR HTE INTAKE MANIFOLD. *JG

WHY WAIT TILL AN ACCIDENT AND OR DEATH OCCURS BECAUSE OF WATER DAMAGE TO TRUCK. THEY CANT FIX THE PROBLEM WITH A FACTORY GASKET, HAVING TO PLASTER SILICONE WITH A NEW GASKET IS NOT THE ANSWER. A NEW JEEP RELACEMENT IS IN ORDER. I ASKED THE HELP DESK AT DAIMLER CHRYSLER IF IN FACT HE WOULD ACCEPT THE NEW JEEP AFTER THE DEALER BUTCHERED THE TRUCK, REPLACED THE GASKETS AND NOW IS RESORTING TO PLASTER THE ENTIRE AREA WITH SILICONE, HIS REPLY WAS NO WAY, I THEN ASKED HIM WHY DO YOU THINK I AM ANY DIFFERENT. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW VIHICLE NOT A USED ONE. HOW LONG BEFORE THE SILICONE CRACKS, WHAT ABOUT WATER DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HARNESS, IE; THE HEAD LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS CRUISE CONTROL, ANY OF A NUMBER OF THINGS COULD CAUSE ME TO CRASH AND OR KILL MYSELF AND OR OTHERS ? I ASK YOU IS THIS FAIR?, I SPENT OVER $26,000 DOLLARS SO I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. *AK
