1997 Jeep Wrangler review from North America

"Bad news"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The first week the paint bubbled. They had to repaint the entire vehicle.

It didn't seem to have much power so I asked them to check it out. They said there wasn't any problems with the power.

Before it had 10,000 miles the electrical system went out but the dash lights stayed on. It took a month to fix the problem.

I asked again about the power - it seemed to lose power. They said it was fine.

I started having obvious problems with the power and the dash had a leak. They again said power was OK and they fixed the leak.

I was stalling out while going 50 mph as though there wasn't any gas. I returned and they said it seemed OK to them.

Several times I returned. I broke down in another location and had the Jeep towed to a local dealer. They fixed it and I left. I went to the original dealer and showed them the paper work.

Again the vehicle was losing power, I went back to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong. I went back several times and finally got a response - they hooked up a electrical device so they could read a chart to identify the problem. I returned and they said it wasn't severe enough for them to find what it was. They had me leave it for the day. I picked it up and they said they didn't find anything wrong. It broke down that evening going to work. They towed it back to the original dealer. The following weekend I traded it back to them and got a used Stratus. I will never go back to this dealer nor will my family.
