1998 Jeep Wrangler Sport review from North America
"Poorly made vehicle that is NOT reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Catalytic converter and serpentine belt had to be replaced at 45,000.
New brakes and one rotor at 55,000.
New Oxygen sensor a 55,000.
New radiator at 50,000.
Electrical problems with turn signal, will not turn off and the dealer said he cannot fix it??
Seats cracked at 45,000.
New exhaust at 45,000.
All hinges rusted at 50,000 and the car was meticulously maintained.
General comments?
Essentially 98 Jeeps have numerous problems that simply relate to a poor product and poor craftmanship. This Jeep has consistently had problems.
