The sensor measures intake pressure and the computer uses the data to adjust fuel and timing.

Help... anybody else out there!!!!
My dealer also is not too interested in customer satisfaction, and being that the Jeep is out of town, They seem to feel that it is sombody elses problem...
But they had no problem taking my Money!!!!
My Service manager here in Cleveland eluded to the fact that possibly the Cincinatti service is not as good (Would that be inferior?) I explained that if that is the case then *"Why the hell don't you flat bed it here?"
This is not looking good and I'm already looking into the Lemon Law
I've been a Jeep owner since '92 and this is a "SHAME"

...let's see, I get to drive it for a few hours / the dealer gets to fix it for 2 or 3 weeks / I get to drive it a few hours / the dealer gets to fix it for 2 or 3 weeks...
soon they will have had posession of the car longer than I have since the purchase date in May.
lmk what the manifestations of a/c fluid in the tranny is.
THANK YOU!

Thanks.
The sevice people looked at it and they again sent me to chrysler...chrysler sent me back to the service dept where they checked the rotors and found therm warped....This cost me $30.00 Service contacted chrsler and told them ..they will do nothing...I contacted chrysler cust service and they told me in a nice way..TOUGH....NO I do not expect this or any other part or parts to last forever, although shouldnt an important item like a brake rotor last more than the allotted time???
If this was a mechanical failure I could and would live with it..it isnt..it's a defect in whatever material has been used ...I have never needed linings replaced,on any of my nine jeeps, and never in all the years I have driven auto's ever needed drum's or rotor's turned down.
I use my brakes sparingly , now and always have,,thats just the way i DRIVE..Comments will be appreciated because I am not finished with this, not certain on which way or where to go...I am moving on this...
They tried accusing me of riding the brakes, living on a hill, etc. It is defective material and I honestly don't think they know how to fix it.
I have done some research on other suv's and quite honestly, there are horror stories on just about everything. I was considering a Hyundai because of the warranty but it sounds like there is a reason for it!
Other than the brakes, I love my jeep. It is sound, solid, no road noise, honestly a lot of car for the money. I've given up trying to get Jeep to admit there is a problem and will take it to a discount brake outfit from now on. As my brother-in-law pointed out to me, at least it gives you warning - the steering wheel starts to vibrate so I know it's time for new rotors. Better than a bad transmission which will strand you, or electrical systems that randomly open and close your doors, or any of the other stories about competition out there.
I haven't heard of many other problems with the Jeeps so after looking up Hyundais, Kia's, Nissans, etc. I'll stick with my jeep with the bad rotors. At least I know I have a solid engine with real all wheel drive when I need it. I wont' take it to jeep anymore for the rotor replacement however, will start going to discount places as they can't do any worse than the 4,000 to 6,000 miles I'm getting out of the jeep rotors.
If you decide to pursue, let me know.
I had to replace the Passenger window which broke and needed the whole assembly, my passenger heated seat no longer works. My radio does the same thing and resets itself but remembers the stations and where my cd's were playing. My CD-Changer gives me an error half the time. It will work after turning the radio on and off and changing discs about 20+ times. Brake rotors are messed up. For some reason it never remembers my mirror settings and always moves them back, and lastly, the heat and air conditioning regulator is messed up. Those are my major problems.
The radio resetting is really screwing me up. When it first happened I saw that the ground ribbon underneath was frayed and no longer connected. I thought that was the problem and replaced it with a heavy guage ground wire that wouldn't fray easily with road dirt and vibrations. The problem happened again. I have no tried an aftermarket radio. Have you? I would be interested to see if that stops working, although I would hate to loose my cd-changer and steering wheel controls.
I had the same exact problem with a 200 Grand Cherokee Limitted. Cleaned and tested the IAC valve - no luck. Replaced the TPS and problem resolved.
Here's what happened. We got a call the car was ready. Went over and ask what they found with the headlight problem.
HERE IS EXACT COPY FROM THE SERVICE INVOICE.
C HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS COME ON ALL BY THEMSELVES-ADVISE.
TECHNICIANS REPLY: WHEN THE SWITCH FOR THE HEADLAMPS IS ON AUTO THIS MEANS THE LIGHT WILL COME ON BY THEMSELVES.
I was really puzzled by this. I tried common sense reasoning with the rep. He replied" well you can leave it or I hate to replace a switch not knowing if that is the problem. So what do we as consumers do? There is a problem and the dealer should have called me and said " now tell us again about the problem--lets find the solution. Not that just turned the car loose. This is definitely a safety hazard and the manufacturer should give a solution. By the way. This is the WORST new bought vehicle I have ever owned and I have all the dealer records from new to prove it.
Mine situation is a little different in that my fan will not even kick on. What did they tell you the problem was with yours??
Any help would be appreciated, as i would like to bypass the repair shops!!!
Our jeeps seem to be ailing from the same malfunction- but what is it? I'll keep looking, let me know if you find anything as well! Thanks & Good Luck too!
My 99 JGC Laredo seems to have foggy or some kind of filmy material on the inside of the headlight cases.It is present on both headlight units and it looks as if maybe condensation is present inside of them.Anyone else have any issues like this?If so could you please advise...is this going to be a costly repair,or is it just something that I could fix without a repair?Is it something a husband (non-mechanic) could fix or better not go that route.Please just don't let it be as pricey as it was to get those stupid warped rotors replaced,lol.
Thanks in advance
I also own a 1994 4-Runner with 240,000 miles. I have owned it for 10 years and it has been paid for for 5 years. It is still going strong. We use it to pull our boat every weekend as well as drive it for work during the week. Other than using a bit of oil now that it has so many miles, it has no problems.
I think I will look into getting rid of the Jeep and getting another Toyota SUV. Good luck to all Jeep owners. Your gonna need it!!!!!!!

"What my friends did for fogged headlamps was use a plastic polishing compound, I am not sure of the name, and some different levels of sandpapber grit to get it back to mostly stock. They did this on an Avenger and it looked almost new. They started with a coarser grit and then went to a finer one in either 3 or 4 steps. Starting at like 1220 grit then ending up at 2000 grit. It was mostly elbow grease."
Do your headlights have condensation inside of them also? And,at the risk of looking really dumb...are you supposed to clean the outside or the inside of the headlight covers(when you are scrubbing them clean) Again,all my problems "look" like they are coming from the inside.I wonder if there is alot of dismantling involved if the cleaning needs to be done on the inside of the cover.Thanks for your help.
Thanks for any help anyone has.
Thank you very much!!
