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.
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?
I also have an 88. When turning corners it would cut off, turned out to be the carburetor... try rebuilding it or getting a new one. The wiring on mine is also crud. I've looked at several other grand wagoneers and it actually seems to be how they were manufactured. I'm currently looking for a new wiring harness so I can replace all the wires under the hood. A great website for parts and advice is www.grandwagoneers.com...good luck. I've loved these cars since I was a kid, and I don't think I'd ever have anything else.
