1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America
"Great one day and poor the next"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Worn rear axle seals and bearings.
2 belts broke a HALF HOUR after purchase.
Wiring harness was a birds nest: making right turns caused it to die. Had a few wires to replace and reconnect.
Another wire soon became damaged near the ignition coil.
Continues to stall out while driving, or won't start after use. Not always, just sometimes.
General comments?
I fell in love with this automobile at first sight. The fake wood is what sold me! The body was in great condition, it's just under the hood is what's bothering me. The engine and all wires are clean and may have been replaced, but either someone did a poor job. I have no idea what to do about it?
