In November of 2003 my husband bought me a 1998 Jeep Wrangler and about 2 weeks after driving it I discovered that the gas gauge only works when it wants to. So I started doing a little research on line and found out that 98 Wranglers had been recalled in the uk for bad gas gauges but not in the us . I was wondering why that is. And apparently there are many electrical problems with the 98s. A bad sending unit might not be a problem to other people but I work construction and spent many nights driving to work in snow storms. When they call you in to shovel snow at 2 am theres not many gas stations open.

My vehicle has run rough, idling rough, "bucking", losing coolant and dripping from the tailpipe about a week after the extended warranty expired. I have had major valve train problems and had to have the camshaft replaced along with the gasket, cylinder head, core return, radiator and now the latest is oil pressure gauge sending unit. Oil pressure still showing zero even after replacing sending unit!.
Faulty fuel level indicator. I suspect a bad fuel sending unit. Fuel gauge shows approximately 1/4 tank of gas left, however the car will actually be completely out of gas.
While traveling on the highway without prior warning the vehicle shut down. The gauges malfunctioned (gas read empty), the vehicle jerked uncontrollably. Different mechanics were unable to duplicate the problem. The transmission leaked (there was pink fluid in the battery area), the belt pulley had fallen off and the vehicle overheated, and the battery failed.
Fuel level sending unit indicates significantly more fuel in reserve than actually present. Recall 97 v 194 000 has been issued on vehicle make and model. However, this vehicle was not included due to the VIN . Please provide further details.
Fuel sending unit for reserve fuel tank is not operating properly. Fuel unit does not show proper amount of fuel in tank. Dealership has examined vehicle, and informed consumer that this vehicle was not affected by recall 97v194003. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
1998 Jeep Wrangler 4. 0l, exhaust manifold crack at 30,000 miles. Jeep/Chrysler refused to fix, stating only catalytic converter covered under warranty. Crack occurred in a weld joining the two pipe, almost 3/4 of the way around the pipe, causing cosiderable noise, and loss of power. Guages fail periodically, but come back on there own, after a few minutes. Air conditioner drains onto floor inside vehicle on long drives and can even short out the radio. The steering column also sqeals like an old door when its cold outside.
