Dome light does not work."

My Father bought this Jeep used, it was about 10 years old and had roughly 110,000 miles on it. It has always run good and been very dependable. As far as I know it has never been wrecked. I will attempt to describe the good the bad and the ugly as honestly as I can.

THE BODY: The paint looks ok for its age. Plenty of minor scratches and blemishes. As far as I know the car has never been repainted.  No serious rust. Minor surface rust along the bottom of the drivers side front door. Small dent at the bottom of the drivers side front door as well. Fist sized dent on the roof above the passenger side front door, (a storm dropped a tree limb on the car). There is  a small hole drilled in the roof for a  "CB" antenna. It has been sealed with silicone. It was there when we bought the car. The passenger side rear tail-light lens is cracked and broken, (the clear lens over the back-up light ). It has never been a problem as far as state inspection goes. Water leaks into the interior around the windshield and front doors. It is annoying during heavy rain. Silicone was applied around the windshield, it was a sloppy  job and it did not stop the leaks. The front doors would not close tight enough to turn off the interior light, so we removed the bulb from the dome light. Years ago, the driver's side front door fell off, hinges and all. We had a body shop align it and weld it back on. In 2012 the driver's front door refused to open. We spent $190.00 having the door latch hardware replaced. All doors and the tailgate open and close as they should. There is no broken or cracked glass, all the windows roll up and down as they should.

MECHANICAL and ELECTRIAL: Six cylinder, 4.0L,(242CI) engine runs strong. It uses about a quart of oil between regular oil changes. The automatic transmission shifts as it should and does not leak. A used transfer case was installed in 2009 by a professional mechanic. Four wheel drive works as it should. The speedometer and odometer have not been accurate since the used transfer case was installed, they read too low. Headlights, tail-lights, turn signals work as they should. The oil pressure sender has failed at least twice and caused the oil pressure gage to be inaccurate and it weeps small amounts of oil. We had the AC system recharged in 2012, then the AC/Heater fan quit working. The neutral safety switch on the transmission is failing. This switch tells the car that it is in park or neutral and allows it to start. A professional mechanic adjusted the switch so you can push forward on the gear shift lever in order to start the car. In 2011 a new battery was installed. Also we replaced the spark plugs, distributer cap, ignition wires, rotor button, air filter, and installed a remanufactured starter. The plastic tanks of the radiator are getting old and brittle. The upper inlet where the hose attaches broke off and there was nothing for the hose to clamp onto. I built it up with epoxy and then epoxied a piece of copper water pipe on top of that to give the hose something to clamp on to. This patch might last for the life of the car or it might fail next week. A new upper radiator hose and clamps were installed.  New front brake pads were installed in 2010. One tire is good, three tires are just ok. Good spare tire. The check engine and low washer fluid "idiot lights" stay on most of the time, as far as I can tell they mean nothing. This car has had less than 2,500 miles put on it since my father died in 2010.

Interior: The front driver's seat has a small  rip in the vinyl. The carpets and head liner are ok. For the most part the interior looks like what you would expect on a 19 year old car. The review mirror came unglued from the windshield, it is not broken it just needs to be glued back on. The car smells musty inside like old wet carpet. It is noticeable but not bad. Solid air fresheners from the dollar store help.

No warranty is expressed or implied, this car is sold as is where is. You are welcome to come look at the car and take it for a test drive, in fact I urge you to do so. E-mail questions through EBAY, or call 82 eight- 50 eight- 04 three 6. There is no buy it now price. I reserve the right to end this sale at any time for any reason. Thanks for looking and happy bidding

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.

Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5

Tue, Oct 4 2016

We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Jeep appears to have nailed it this time. After two decades of assembling its Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle, the American automaker has finally delivered a world-class off-roader capable of taking on everything in its segment - and more - with a high likelihood of coming out on top.
And if you drove last year's model, it's time to climb behind the wheel again as Jeep has significantly updated the SUV for 2014 with a bold new exterior appearance, an upgraded interior with enhanced electronics and a new transmission that completely transforms the way it drives.
We recently spent a full week with a dark blue 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4, a well-optioned model fitted with the standard gasoline-fed V6. While it didn't have the punch of the range-topping V8-powered SRT8, or the fuel-sipping economy of its new EcoDiesel sibling, the high-volume variant left us quite impressed.
