The front sway-bar came unhooked.
The "check engine" light has come on twice for no reason (i.e. was charged twice to reset the on board computer).
Paint is peeling on read window hinge.
Hard top makes whistling noise when temperature is below freezing (I'm assuming an issue with the seals).
The best all-purpose vehicle around. An 4WD monster in the winter and a convertible in the summer. Such fun!
Fuel consumption is higher than expected.
The interior is sparse with few frills, which I like in a car. The less things that can break, the better!
Great all-around visibility. The large windows are greatly appreciated.
Hard to drive on a windy highway with the soft top up. Wouldn't take it on long trips.
You can get the fault for the check engine light yourself by turning the ignition switch 3x to the point where the dash lights come on and leave it in the on position on the third time and a letter with a 4 digit code will appear, write it down call the service department and ask them what it means. If it isn't anything too serious you can reset you check engine light by simply disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes (on some jeeps maybe up to 45 minutes). These steps should save you some time and money in the future.
Have had a 2001 Wrangler for over a year, love the vehicle. Minor check engine light - code was something like a loose gas cap (spent the $15 for a Chilton manual) only happened a couple of times, none since. Decent gas mileage, but really love the ability to make it convertible. Not much for long trips, but great to get to work and short trips.
Love the TJ!! bought mine 7 months ago and did not know that I would fall in love wit hit! From the top off in the summer to mud bogging in the winter! I look for excuses to go out and drive!!!
Bought My TJ 4 months ago. Fuel consumption is not impressive. Check engine light came up within few weeks of my purchase. Loved driving it in winter with excellent traction. Can't wait for summer to go topless.
