2002 Jeep Wrangler x review from North America
"Fun, but poor quality, big time money-pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Soft top zippers started breaking off at 50K.
One head lamp needs regular replacement.
A/C does not work anymore--next on the "fix list."
Leak in fuel line--in the shop overnight for this, yet again!
Spark plugs needed replacing twice in the last year.
New set of shocks at 53K.
Rear end alignment at 53K.
Brakes gave out at 53K.
What next?
General comments?
I will never own another Jeep vehicle after all the things that have started to go wrong with it.
Yes, I know it's not a Honda or Toyota, but I shouldn't be having all these problems at 54,000 miles and change. All other vehicles I've owned went over 100K before needing this sort of work.
Jeeps are fun--no doubt about it. Just be sure you've got lots of money to spend on maintenance and repairs!
