The Jeep has treated me very well, but I needed something with better gas mileage and really don't have much of a need for it.
A few things about the Jeep:
191,xxx miles
Rear wheel drive
Its the four door SE model with the 4.0L l6 engine.
Automatic transmission. Shifts great and has more power than you would expect.
Manuel locks and windows.
It was well maintained(never missed an oil change or tune up, however it is reaching a transmission flush which has turned on the check engine light)
The Jeep is black but the paint has started to fade, I decided to take this and run. Instead of repainting it I badged the rear windows with a few zombie decals(which could easily be removed) and added a blood splatter bed sheet as the interior roof lining.
Has a basic am/fm, cd stereo unit.
There are a couple small issues:
The turn signals cams need to be replaced(the turn signals do not shut off automatically)
The cruise control does not work.
I am told that both of these things could be fixed by replacing the clock spring(I know that they price at about $60 I have just been unwilling to invest the time.
As with most of the Jeeps from this era the catalytic converter heat shield rattles on cold starts. (I have been told that these can be removed pretty easily.
Lastly, there is a crack in the bottom of the windshield( it passed regulations in Missouri, so I never bothered to have it replaced)
Overall the Jeep is in great condition and with a little care it could turn into a great vehicle or a fun project.

There have been a couple things that have been brought to my attention, the vehicle stays at my moms house, and I asked her to drive it for the day and let me know how it drove, she did tell me that the check engine light came on, I have not checked the light yet, and she said there was a rattle from the exhaust, which I assume is the heatsheild which is famous for coming loose and making a rattling noise.
Overall the Jeep is in great condition and with a little care it could turn into a great vehicle or a fun project.

Six 'shut up and take my money' cars
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."
Chrysler recalling 630k Jeep models worldwide
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Despite its refusal to recall 2.7 million Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models this week over a gas tank fire risk, Chrysler will be recalling 630,000 Jeep Compass (pictured), Patriot and Wrangler vehicles around the globe for a pair of entirely different reasons.
The affected Compass and Patriot models are all from the 2010 to 2012 model years - 254,000 in the United States, 45,400 in Canada and 109,000 elsewhere in the world. In these models, a software error may result in the late deployment of the side airbags and seatbelt tensioners. In the event of a crash, failure of these systems could result in more serious injuries for the vehicle's occupants.
Jeep's go-anywhere Wrangler also faces a separate recall due to power steering fluid lines that can possibly wear a hole in the transmission oil cooler line. According to Chrysler, the vehicles could then leak fluid, possibly damaging the transmissions. Roughly 221,100 Wrangler models are being recalled because of this issue, all of which are fitted with Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. In the US, 181,000 vehicles are affected, with an additional 18,400 in Canada and 21,700 additional units worldwide. A Chrysler spokesperson said that no crashes or injuries have been reported with either case, according to the Associated Press.

"We figured we'd take the best of both worlds." - Ralph Gilles.
The international makeup of the 2015 Jeep Renegade will serve as a template for cooperation within the newly formed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Senior Vice President of Product Design Ralph Gilles said.
