I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A 2006 RHD JEEP WRANGLER I PURCHASED FROM [XXX]. ON 4/01/10. LEMON IS NOT THE WORD. BEFORE DRIVING OFF THE LOT WITH VEH. I NOTICED THE FAN SWITCH FOR THE AC/HEATER ONLY OPERATED ON HIGH SPEED. HOURS LATER THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY REPLACED THE SWITCH FROM SOMEONES PERSONAL VEH. BECAUSE THE SWITCH IS SO HARD TO COME BY APPARENTLY. WITHIN 2 MOS THE SWITCH FOR THE FAN WENT OUT AGAIN. HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER 3 MOS. (ON BACK ORDER) THE GEAR SHIFTER CABLE BROKE NEXT AND HAD CAR TOWED AND REPAIRED. ALSO, IT WAS RUNNING EXTREMELY HOT, I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT VEH. DOWN TO COOL. THEN TO TOP IT OFF ON AUG. 13TH 2010 THE TRANS FELL OUT ON MY WAY TO WORK. I BOUGHT THE VEH ON APR 1ST (FOOLS DAY) AND BOY WAS I FOOLED. I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A DEPENDABLE, RELIABLE VEH. FOR MY JOB, THE POSTAL SVC EVEN GIVES $1000 INCENTIVES FOR THEIR CARRIERS TO BUY JEEPS. BIGGEST MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE. I COULD OF LOST MY JOB TRYING TO DRIVE THIS JEEP IF MY BOSS HADN'T BEEN UNDERSTANDING ABOUT ALL THE BREAKDOWNS AND DOWNTIMES I HAD. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A JEEP TO MY WORST ENEMY. JEEP TO ME STANDS FOR JUST EMPTY EACH POCKET. EVEN JEEP WONT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEH. CAN'T BUY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A RHD JEEP THEY DESIGNED TO DELIVER MAIL IN. IS THAT A JOKE OR WHAT? I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEH. AND NOT PAID NEAR THE PRICE I DID FOR THIS JEEP AND THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. BE SMART DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID. IF YOU DO BUY A JEEP BETTER BUY IT BRAND NEW UNDER WARRANTY CAUSE YOU WILL NEED IT. BIG TIME. AND GET OUT FROM UNDER IT BEFORE THE WARRANTY GOES OUT. THE DEALERSHIP NOR THE MANUFACTURES OF THE JEEP WERE WILLING TO HELP ME AT ALL. I WAS STUCK WITH IT AND NOTHING I COULD DO. I AM JUST NOW (6 MOS. LATER)REBUILDING THE TRANS. I HAD TO HAVE A BREAK FROM IT. I WAS TIRED OF STAYING STRESSED OUT AND UPSET. AS SOON AS IT IS REPAIRED I AM TRADING IT. GET A WARRANTY FOR SURE.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, AND ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS, OFTEN SPRAYING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN IT WAS NEW, BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON, GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS PRESENTS BOTH A FIRE HAZARD AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD, AND I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS HAVE OBSERVED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
