Three problems related to underhood wiring have been reported for the 1997 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Underhood Wiring problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2003

I bought my 1997 Jeep Wrangler in June, 2002 from a used car dealer in baltimore, MD with an as-is warranty and was told the vehicle had passed inspection and was in good condition. It had 64,000 miles on it and appeared to be good. Since then I have had nothing but problems with this Jeep. First the wiring harness, then the transmission, now a diagnosis to replace the intake and exhaust manifold, replaced fuel pump and has a faulty fuel gauge, and possibly the stabilizer bar or steering components. This Jeep is costing me more in repairs than the actual value of it. I fear that it is unsafe and that I m facing more expenses if I keep it, but I am still making payments on it. Do I have any recourse as far as lemon law protection, recalls, help!!! I don't know what to do with it.

2 Underhood Wiring problem

Failure Date: 04/29/1999

Engine harness bad in vehicle. Vehicle has been to dealer for lots of problems since new. The latest is the harness problem. The vehicle has been to the dealer 4 times, and is at present time is still at dealer. They have had it going on three weeks now. No one can find the proper parts or a correct way of fixing it. I have contacted Chrysler more times then I care to recall,but still the same answer that they are trying everything to fix the problem. This last time 2 wires in engine harness melted,I feel that the vehicle is unsafe and unreliable. If you can help in anyway I would greatly appreciate it,thank you james haven.
