"Could have been built stronger"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The rear axle broke and took the spider gears and misc. brake components with it. The dealer would not cover the axle under warranty.

Fuel pump actuator replaced under warranty.

Fuel injectors replaced under warranty.

Seat adjustment knob replaced under warranty.

Cd player skips, and Cd's often get stuck in the CD player.

Oil pressure jumps to 80 sporadicly.

Leaks when it rains.

General comments?

I have beaten the snot out of this jeep for the short time I've owned it. It has treated me very well, although I wish I new as much about the jeep TJ as I do now. I would spent the extra bucks for a Dana 44 rear axle. I also think the bumper to bumper warranty should go up to 70,000 miles. I think the all the components of the TJ are weak and designed to be cheap and somewhat effective instead of strong and reliable.

I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler that I love. However, I have experienced very similar problems with my oil pressure. Sometimes at high sustained RPM the pressure goes straight to 80 lbs. While at other times will drop to zero. Have you had any luck in fixing you issue? I can be contacted at davecounselman@trinitywoodbridge.org. Thank you.
