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

Chrysler defies NHTSA, says it won't recall 2.7M Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty models
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Facing a possible recall totaling around 2.7 million of its most popular SUVs, Chrysler remains insistent that the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty are safe vehicles. This comes on the heels of a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for these two models due to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle, which could possibly be ruptured during severe rear-end collisions, leading to an increased risk of fire. In response to the allegations, Chrysler says that it does not agree with NHTSA nor does it plan on recalling either vehicle.
Chrysler said both SUVs "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity, and cooperated fully with NHTSA since the investigation was opened in 2010. While 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been reported from fires caused by rear-end collisions on these models, Chrysler is claiming that the vast majority of incidents cited by NHTSA were "high-energy crashes," including one where a stopped Grand Cherokee was rear-ended by a tractor trailer going 65 miles per hour.
The automaker wraps up by saying "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured." Scroll down for Chrysler's official response to NHTSA, but we're pretty sure this isn't the last we've heard on this issue.
NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe
Wed, 15 Jan 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."
Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier
Wed, Jun 3 2015Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The FCA Owner apps also feature an augmented reality function that helps drivers identify instrument-panel icons. There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android. If you've got more than one FCA vehicle in your garage, you needn't download multiple versions of the app as they'll work on any model the Italian-American automaker offers.
