| 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. *jb | |||

| Instrument panel: all instrument panel gauges are driven by a microprocessor, such that it tells the panel what the gauges should read. when the instrument panel cpu fails, all gauges; fuel/temp/oil/volt and tachometer, speedometer an d odometer) fail simultaneously. this is disconcerting at best, highly dangerous (say if one were on a freeway) at worst. also, transmission: the 5-speed transmission used with the 4.0l has major problems shifting into second when cold. jeep's answer for years has been they all do that yet they have continued to use the same transmission and have no fixed for the problem to this date. *ak | |||
