"My third one and I love this car because it loves me back"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing other than Ac needed recharging.

General comments?

These cars are built tough. I am a previous jeep wrangler owner and if you want headaches get a jeep.

If you want reliable transportation and good gas mileage buy a Geo Tracker or Isuzu.

My engine failed at 188,350, and I took it to an independent garage for a rebuild. The problem was a warped and cracked crankshaft. A search for a used crankshaft from a 96 turned into a headache, as many owners had the same problem as me and snatched the used ones up. Often we would find one, used, but discovered it wasnt any better than my old one, warped. Several people have stated, well you got 188 thousand before you had to rebuild the engine - others say the engine should have lasted longer than that. comments?

I have a 96' Tracker and I have had lots of troubles with it, but I still love her. I bought her for $600.00 which is a great price, but all together put $3000.00 in it. I have replaced the Heads and valves on her which was $1100.00. Then I had a front seal was leaking oil, EGR valve went, water pump and now I believe that my throttle body spacer is going now which is a $700.00 part.It's defintly not a hwy driving vehicle, but they are GREAT for offroading. Mine loves the water!! Had water up to the top of the head lights now. Fun times, but now the transmission is leaking from the shifter seal... its never ending problems, but I still LOVE her.
