1998 Jeep Wrangler sport review from North America
"Would not recommend, by foreign"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 62050, right off the lot,75 miles after that the jeep started to do what I have come to find is called the death shake, which my personal mechanic has told me, you really don't know what the problem is, so fix everything until it is fixed, shocks had to replaced twice, all new brake system, shoes, rotors, drums, spring coils replaced"rusted in half" new exhaust system, need I go on!
General comments?
The good thing is it is definitely for fun, getting through off road and snow, but I wish I would have found this site before I bought one because every issue that I have had is listed on this site, I will never buy another jeep or American 4x4, too many issues and to much money to keep up,
