Oil seal leakage.
Oil sensor replaced.
Radiator has started to leak A 57,000 MPH.
Original soft top lasted five years with proper cleaning.
Steering squeaks in the cold weather.
Air circulation to fan is poor, anytime over 50 mph. Basically stops circulating.
Wa Wa Wa, all these people crying about how their jeeps leak, have no power, and basically fall apart in a short period of time. Could some of this be to there lack of basic maintenance. Oil changes, transmission fluid, inspection of these parts before they break. HmmI wonder. If you buy a Jeep you should not expect a plush, comfortable ride. These vehicles were not made for comfort.
As for the plastic parts involved with most of the factory Jeeps, most people are aware of higher quality after-market stainless steel replacements. Check it out!
I've had a few problems, don't get me wrong. But overall the 97' models seem to have most of the previous problems taken care of.
I have a 97 Jeep Wrangler and keep up with all maintenance. The only problems I had was with the oxygen sensor that made it buck (20,000 miles), replaced the radiator (50,000 miles.), catalytic converter (52,000), and brakes (54,000). Of course its noisy, the CD player skips when you go over bumps, its not cozy warm in the winter with the rag top, the rubber weather stripping wears out on the soft-top doors, the fender flares fade to a grey, the zippers wear out on the soft-top doors, etc. With all that in mind, I must say that I still enjoy it because it's fun to drive and helps me get through the NE Penna. winters and love going topless during the summers. Would buy another one!
Any ideas gave full tune up and had cluch replased. now one week later won't run starts up and warms up and that's it. it acts like its running out of gas. no power.
