1997 Jeep Wrangler SE review from North America
"Fun if you like sitting in the repair shop"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The main thing that has gone wrong is an unidentifiable intermittent miss that started at 12,000 miles. I finally, after trying for 30,000 miles to get it fixed, have taken Daimler/Chrysler to arbitration because I cannot even sell this piece of "work". Wish me luck... I also know another 1997 driver with the same problem.
General comments?
Beware... I think the 97 has bad problems that Chrysler knows about and cannot resolve.
