"Sharp looks, good performance, mediocre reliability, poor customer service"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission went at 112,000 miles. Cost about $2100 to replace.

A/C has problems every summer since 75,000 miles - just after the warranty ran out! Systems leaks R-14 (freon) from multiple locations. A poor design.

Jeep kept me on hold over 30 minutes once when I called to complain.

C/V boots crack about once per year - a $60-$80 job.

Engine mounts need replacement about once per year - a $40 job.

Wheels developed strange and unsightly "worm-holes" on the exterior after 60,000 miles.

Factory stereo burned out at 140,000 miles.

Fuel pump needed replacement at 150,000 miles - $800.

General comments?

Strong engine. I've become spoiled by the powerful 5.2L V-8 and the acceleration.

Perfect size.

Decent gas mileage; about 21mpg under ideal conditions, about 15.5mpg in city conditions.

Good on snow.

Excellent turn radius.

Running boards hamper any serious off roading attempts.

I don't know where you bought your fuel pump, but I payed 180$ for mine at Auto Zone. The labor for installation was only 125$.

I had a gas station service dept try to give me an estimate $800 to do the fuel pump job. Found out that they wanted to charge me $400 just for the pump. I picked up the pump at the dealership myself for $240.00.I took it to them, not much to their liking, and gave it to them to install. They anded up only charging about $200.00 more for the labor which I think was fair because they had to drain out a full gastank.

Depends on where you go to get service these days. Some may try to charge you a fortune while others will be more fair.
