2000 Jeep Wrangler

1) I BOUGHT THE JEEP WRANGLER USED 2)THE LATCH SOMETIMES DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN I PUT THE LIP OF THE SEAT BELT INTO THE SOCKET OF THE SEAT BELT. IT STICKS...IM AFRAID THAT IF I DO GET IN A WRECK IT WILL FAIL AND I WILL BE EJECTED, ESPECIALLY WITH A JEEP AND IT HAVING A HIGH ROLLOVER RISK. 3)IM SERIOUSLY THINKING OF GETTING BRAND NEW SEAT BELTS, NOT CHRYSLER BRAND BUT AFTER MARKET ONES, UNLESS CHRYLSER SOLVES THE ISSUE. *JB

ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY JEEP WRANGLER I NOTICED THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN GO OUT REPEATEDLY. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST A FAULTY BULB AND FOR THE MOST PART IGNORED IT. THEN IT STARTED STAYING ON ALL THE TIME, SO YESTERDAY, AFTER THE HORN QUIT AND ALL THE FUSES WERE INTACT, I HAD IT CHECKED,BY A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT'S FAILURE WAS BEING CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEP WRANGLERS. AND AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THIS TO BE CORRECT. HOWEVER I ONLY SEE WHERE THE RECALL IS LISTED ONLY FOR PREVIOUS YEARS. BUT IF YOU READ SOME OF THE FEEDBACK LEFT ON THE JEEP WEBSITES THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE 2000 WRANGLER IS INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ? THANKS.....G.D.GRAY. *JB

CONSUMER PURCHASED A 2000 JEEP WRANGLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT BRAKES WERE NEW AND IN GOOD CONDITION. UPON PUTTING VEHICLE IN PARK PARKING BRAKE DID NOT HOLD AND HAD TO BE ADJUSTED. *TS THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T STOP. THE FRONT PINION SEAL WAS REPLACED AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING. *JB

WATER LEAKING BENEATH DASH ONTO PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. DEALER STATED THAT DEBRIS ENTERED THROUGH HOOD VENT AND ACCUMULATED CAUSING DRAINS TO PLUG UP.

MY WIFE WAS HIT IN THE RIGHT FRONT OF HER 2000 JEEP WRANGLER (SAHARA ED.) ON 12 MAR 2005. I CONTACTED DAMILER CHRYSLER, AND RATHER THAN REPLY TO ME, THEY TURNED IT OVER TO ONE OF THE LAW FIRMS WHICH HAS NOT SATISFACTORILY HANDLING THE ISSUE, NOR HAVE THEY CONTACTED ME SINCE SEPTEMBER. MY WIFE SUFFERED A BROKEN NECK, 4-BROKEN RIBS, A PUNCTURED LEFT LUNG, A 2" LACERATION ON HER HEAD REQUIRING 13 STAPLES AND MANY CUTS AND BRUISES BECAUSE THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING HER UPPER BODY TO GO THROUGH THE WINDOW. OUR HOSPITAL AND AIR FLIGHT COST TOTALED MORE THAN $60K. MUCH OF IT PAID BY MY HEALTH INSURANCES. *JB

ALL FOUR SEAT BELT RELEASE MECHANISMS GET STUCK. I HAVE HAD TO ASSIST PASSENGERS WITH RELEASING THE SEAT BELT AFTER THEY ATTEMPTED IT THEMSELVES. TO RELEASE THE BELTS, THERE MUST BE SUFFICIENT SLACK IN THE BELT TO ALLOW AN ANGLE BETWEEN THE TONGUE AND RECEPTACLE OPPOSITE THE ANGLE NATURALLY ACHIEVED WHEN IN USE. THIS PROBLEM WAS VERY NOTICEABLE BUT NOT AS BAD WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED IN MY VEHICLE, BUT WHEN PASSENGERS NEED ASSISTANCE REMOVING A SAFETY BELT, THAT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. *NM
