The 4.0 Liter straight six cylinder engine runs strong, the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The 4-wheel drive (H and L) engages smoothly and operates normally. The engine starts right up, even on the coldest morning, even after sitting for a few days. The engine does not blow smoke or leak fluids, and passed a Virginia emission inspection in August 2013.

 

The upholstery is in good condition and is without tears, rips stains or marks, except for the side of the driver’s seat, which shows some cracking in the vinyl (see picture). The carpeting is in good shape (no rips, tears or stains) and there are 2 sets of floor mats (one set is rubber, one set is carpet like), but the floor mats are in worn condition (not shown in the photos). The rear seat folds forward for more cargo room, and this feature works correctly.

 

The Jeep is equipped with a trailer hitch and wiring to connect to the trailer (shown in the photos). The Jeep was used to haul a canoe, and the hitch was never overloaded. The after-market CD receiver includes the wiring to connect an amp (wiring includes: R/L audio, power and turn-on connections). An amp can be installed in the rear of the vehicle and the head unit can be set to drive a sub or full range amplification system. The CD receiver includes a remote control and includes various aux. connections on the front and back of the receiver. The CD receiver is connected to the built in speakers in the front doors and rear roof.

 

The Jeep’s paint is in good condition for a 15 year-old vehicle. There are some minor dings and scratches, and there is some minor rust. The pictures were taken right after a wash, and you can see the paint is still shinny. The car was garage kept for the first 10 years of life, and this was driven primarily as a commuter car to and from work.

 

The Jeep was a gift from an Aunt and Uncle for my son on his 16th birthday in August 2013. The Aunt and Uncle where the original owners of the car, and was purchased by them in February 1999. The Jeep was occasionally used for travel with dogs, and although I cannot detect a pet smell, my son’s allergies were triggered, so the Jeep will not work out for him and we are selling it to buy something else. People with allergies may want check it out before bidding. The Jeep also has a low gas mileage, about 16-18 MPG, but the engine has not been tuned-up in a while, which might make a difference. Not all of the accessories function 100%. The power window switch at the driver’s door works correctly, but the window switches at the other doors operate intermittently. The power lock system does not lock the rear driver’s side door – the lock is gummed up and requires a lot of force to operate. It can be worked by hand with a lot of force. The remote lock fob stopped working when it got cold in October. I have changed the battery in the fob, but it does not work. The fob will be included in the auction. The AC needs to be recharged – we were told that the AC system has a slow leak and when charged up in the spring, it would last all summer. In August 2013 there was not any cold air. The heater blows nice and hot. The cruise control would not engage.

 

In August 2013, I needed to buy 4 new tires and have some front end suspension work done to get the Jeep to pass inspection in Virginia. My investment was $1200, which is where the auction starts. The mechanic recommended having rear suspension work done, as the original shocks were still on the car. I did not have rear suspension work done. The tires have about 500 miles on them, but they are all-season highway tires. If you are into 4-wheeling, you may want to consider different tires. The cold snap we had last week caused the windshield of the Jeep to crack. The crack is about 15 inches long and the windshield may need to be replaced depending on your state’s inspection requirements (see the pictures). Since this happened less than a week ago, I cannot say crack movement is complete. The first day it got a little bigger, but has not expanded since.

 

The Jeep has never let me down. It always starts up, runs strong and gets me where I need to go. I have been driving it as a commuter vehicle since August. The Jeep would be fine for a long distance drive as Aunt Betsy’s son delivered the Jeep to us after an 800 mile road trip.

FCA recalling 323,000 cars for wiring, software issues

Mon, Jul 25 2016

The Basics: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is conducting a voluntary recall for an estimated 323,361 cars in the US. The affected vehicles were built after September 23, 2014 and include: the 2015 Chrysler 200, Ram ProMaster City, Jeep Renegade, and 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. The Problem: An insufficient crimp in the vehicles' wiring harness may result in a solenoid fault code, which could cause the engine to stop. The loss of power could lead to an accident. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: FCA will update the affected vehicles' software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. According to FCA, owners that experience the problem can temporarily resolve the issue by restarting the vehicle. If you own one: FCA is reaching out to owners to schedule a service. Related Video: Statement: Wire Harness Crimp July 22, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 323,361 vehicles in the U.S. to update certain software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. An examination of warranty data led to an FCA US investigation that discovered an insufficient crimp in a wire harness. Such a crimp may lead to a solenoid fault code that can cause propulsion loss. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Most vehicles in the recall population will not experience this fault code over their lifetimes. However, should the condition occur, it can typically be temporarily resolved by stopping the vehicle and re-starting its engine. Accordingly, FCA US urges customers to heed the instructions on their recall notices. Affected are certain model-year 2015 Chrysler 200 midsize sedans, Ram ProMaster City small vans, Jeep Renegade and Cherokee SUVs. Certain model-year 2014 Cherokees are also affected. A change made in the harness-manufacturing process eliminates the need to recall any vehicle built after Sept. 23, 2014. An estimated 35,511 additional vehicles in Canada are included in the campaign; as are 7,067 in Mexico; and 43,927 outside the NAFTA region. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service. Those with questions may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403. News Source: FCAImage Credit: AOL Recalls Chrysler Jeep RAM FCA jeep renegade ram promaster city

Dodge, Jeep and Ram could soon be owned by Chinese automakers

Mon, Aug 14 2017

For the past several years, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it widely known that the automaker he helms is up for grabs. First, he sent an email to GM CEO Mary Barra, who immediately refused to even discuss a merger. Later, Marchionne set his sights on Volkswagen. That too was swiftly rebuffed. It seemed like no global automaker was remotely interested in a partnership. Now, Automotive News reports that several Chinese automakers have come calling, only FCA isn't ready to answer. At least not yet. The news broke this morning that a major Chinese automaker had made an offer to purchase FCA for slightly above market value. FCA refused, saying the offer wasn't quite generous enough. It's unclear which automaker made the offer, but Automotive News says there's more than one interested party. FCA representatives have recently traveled to China to meet with Great Wall Motors, while Chinese representatives were seen at FCA corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Chinese government has a lot of money invested in local automakers. It's putting pressure on these automakers to expand globally, including to the United States. As it stands, it's a matter of when a Chinese automaker will start selling cars here, not if. Purchasing an established automaker with a wide range of products and a huge dealer network would do wonders in giving the Chinese a foothold here. Sure, Geely owns Volvo, but a luxury automaker doesn't have nearly as much reach as a more mainstream company like FCA. This seems like the best case scenario for both a Chinese automaker looking to move into the U.S. and for FCA, at least from a business standpoint. The latter doesn't seem to have any other interested parties. It will be interesting to see how FCA would sell a deal like this to the public. We're not sure everyone will be happy with Dodge, Jeep and Ram falling under Chinese ownership. FCA didn't turn down the Chinese because they didn't like the idea. It turned down the offer because there wasn't enough money on the table. Related Video: News Source: Automotive News Earnings/Financials Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM
