| I purchased a new 2004 jeep wrangler sport on sept 30,2004. on oct 1, 2004 i discovered defective paint on the left front fender near the engine compartment(appears to be a chemical contaminant as well as grazing of the base coat), dent on the underside of the right hand passenger door, welding splatters on the right front fender, dents on the inside of the right front fender, right front fender is warped. all body damage appears to have been pre-delivery. dealer service personnel told me to ignore the paint damage. i dont understand how the vehicle left the factory in this condition. iam disgusted and depressed after spending $26,000 dollars on this jeep. iam a u.s. navy veteran, aviation structural mechanic. *ak | |||

| I driving my jeep and was hit on the drivers side by a mercedes that was moving 35mph. i watch the whole scene coming through my front soft top glass window. my face hit the soft top window and broke my nose pretty bad according to dr. charles shaffer (my surgieon). by the way the soft top and upper door halfs were the factory equipped willy's edition model specific which are supplied to dailmer chrysler by hertz. blood was everywhere and took 3 hours to completely stop the bleeding. i was wearing my seat belt by the way. i had to have surgery to my nose and several follow up sessions. i feel very lucky that it was a mercedes that hit me because they are able to crush very well. his vehicle was totaled and had neck pain and i drove home with a broke nose, bent rear axle shaft (bend was outside of the axle bearing, which makes one of my rear brakes useless), damaged factory rocker panel (willy's edition model specific), damaged body, rear fender flare, i also had to straighten and reweld the body mount that tore off the frame( there are 3 body mounting points that are clearly visible between the 2 drivers side wheels, the mount closest to the rear tire was torn off the frame) please contact me if you would like to ask me more questions at (704) 506-4592. | |||

| Vehicle is a 2004 jeep wrangler 4x4 purchased 12/04. debris accumulated under the skid plate, apparently ignited by exhaust system. i smelled and saw smoke and had a fire extinguisher which i used to put out the fire. engine wiring harness damaged by the fire, repairs about $2,000. skid plate design allows debris to come in front of skid plate but not be blown out the back or bottom. i bought the jeep in part for its offroad capabilities, but am afraid to use it now. *nm | |||
