problem #2

Jan 012006

Wrangler 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 70,000 miles
Radiator made with plastic which leaks at the top where the plastic is crimped to the metal core. This is an inevitable problem on all Jeep (Chrysler products) made with radiators manufactured using plastic causing leakage before the life expectancy of the radiator is reached. In some cases, coolant is flammable. To my knowledge no recall has been performed.

problem #1

Jun 062002

Wrangler 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles
52,000 on my 1999 Wrangler (have never been "off roading in it). I just replaced the radiator with an after market brand - not Jeep radiator. I'm in the process of ordering a new exhaust manifold (mine is cracked). Once again I was advised to buy an after market manifold because the Jeep's manifold is a lesser quality. It has been explained to me that both of these repairs are frequent on this model and should be a factory recall.
