1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport review from North America
"Unreliable - expensive major repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1) Coolant leak - internal to engine head - cracks - very expensive repair ($1200 to $2500 +)
2) Overheating
3) Oil pressure low - (gauge) 0 at idle! And lower as engine warms up - check gauges light
4) Coolant contaminates oil
5) Coolant contaminates catalytic convertor
6) Air conditioner system failure ($3,500 repair) - air divertor door also sticks.
Not just a Wrangler problem - these problems are across Jeep product line using common engine (4.0 l V-6) and components!!!
