Up for sale is my daughters 1997 Jeep Cherokee Country (classic, sport). It has a Rough Country 3" lift, with new hydro shocks installed when we purchased it 2.5 years ago. We also installed the new tires and wheels at that time. vehicle has had approx. 25,000 miles put on it since she bought it. She has moved up to a lifted Jeep Liberty, so we are selling her Cherokee. Since we have owned it, we have replaced:
Water pump,
Battery,
Fuel Injectors
O2 Sensors,
exhaust
power steering pump
engine belt
battery temp sensor
radio and speakers
power window switches
fuel pump
upper and lower ball joints
both axle shaft U joints
both wheel bearings
calipers, brake pads, and rotors
all fluids changed regularly - axles, trans, engine, transfer case
(Please bear in mind I believe in complete and total honesty - I am revealing EVERYTHING I know about the vehicle - you being happy with your purchase is very important to me)

Jeep has (as of this posting) 150,036 miles on it now. No leaks or burning of fluids but some seepage visible - rear main seal, rear diff pinion, etc. Never have to add any fluid between oil changes or maintenance windows. 4.0 I-6 in great shape, auto trans works perfect. Body in decent shape, no major damage or rust to be concerned about. Body does have some body work in its past life that is "so-so" if you look up close. Body work done on the drivers door, around the lock area. Body work done on the roof in a 2 areas. Has a small  rust hole in the lower rear passenger side quarter panel, drivers side just edge surface rust, visible in pics. Does have rust in floor under drivers and passenger front footwells, I have just left it alone, cant tell unless you crawl under and look - but the frame, suspension mounts,body mounts all in better then average shape - car appears it was rust proofed and undercoated early in its life. Bottoms of doors solid, rockers are solid. Has an aftermarket electric sunroof that works properly, rattles and does drip in very heavy rains (explains the rust in the floor boards in front only and why I didn't patch them!). Drives nice and straight down the road. Most all functions work - heat, wipers, radio, windows. Drivers door lock solenoid bad, A/C has a leaky line and does not hold a charge, but all parts are there and complete (I tried to charge it when we first got it - and it did run and cool - but leaked out very quickly). Leak is in a solid line, near the battery. Rear liftgate struts are weak. Seats in good shape, interior is not trashed. We have not hesitated to let my daughter drive this every day, and including our trips with our Jeep club twice a year which is 5 hours away.  Drove it there, did some fun off-roading and drove it home.
Just passed IL emissions test beginning of July. Aftermarket off-road front and rear steel bumpers with D-ring mounts and front stinger. Aftermarket front slush mats. Aftermarket stereo MP3 with aux in and new speakers all the way around. Interior in decent shape, no rips or tears in seats or carpets. Great first vehicle for someone that needs something dependable and tough. This Jeep always starts - even on the coldest winter days. We wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. 4 wheel drive works great. Price somewhat negotiable, but not much - really because of the tons of new parts, its ready for a new owner - throw plates on it and go!

Chrysler recalling hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

The public might associated ignition switch recalls with General Motors - and with good cause - but that's not the only automaker calling its vehicles back in to fix that sort of issue.
Last month we reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating an array of Chrysler Group vehicles for electrical-related safety issues. The administration and Chrysler subsequently issued a recall for 700,000 Dodge Journey crossovers, Dodge Grand Caravan minivans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. But while the Jeeps that were also under investigation were not covered in that recall, they are being addressed in a separate one now.
Although Chrysler reports that it is only aware of a single accident stemming from this issue, it is "committing now to conduct a recall out of an abundance of caution." The recall affects the 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which it reports there are 792,300 on the road: 649,900 in the United States, 28,800 in Canada, 12,800 in Mexico and a further 100,800 outside of North America.

NHTSA investigating 630k Jeep Wranglers for possible airbag fault

Wed, Jun 24 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into a possible wiring problem on some 2007-2012 Jeep Wrangler models that could affect airbag deployment. The government agency has 221 complaints alleging that the airbag warning light is illuminating, and that could indicate that the safety devices might not deploy in a crash. If a recall is necessary, an estimated 630,000 vehicles could be affected. According to the documents from NHTSA (as a PDF here), a "faulty clockspring assembly in the driver side airbag electrical circuit" could be the culprit. Also, some of the affected Wranglers are showing a fault code that indicates the safety device wouldn't deploy in an accident. However at this time, there are no reports of injuries related to this potential problem. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are simply meant to investigate and don't necessarily lead to a recall. This isn't the first time for a potential problem like this on the Wrangler, though. A clockspring issue already led to a safety campaign for 2008-2012 right-hand drive Wranglers and an extended warranty for 2007 left-hand drive examples.

Several complaints cite the following diagnostic trouble code (DTC): Code B1B02 Open Squib to driver's air bag. This DTC would indicate a no-fire condition (disablement) for the driver air bag. ODI investigated the RHD (right hand drive) Wrangler for a clockspring issue under PE11-019 which led to NHTSA Recall 11V258 on model year (MY) 2008-2012 RHD Wranglers as well as an extended warranty campaign on MY 2007 LHD Wrangler vehicles. This investigation covers the MY07-12 LHD (left hand drive) Wranglers.

China-FCA merger could be a win-win for everyone but politicians

Tue, Aug 15 2017

NEW YORK — Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne has said the car industry needs to come together, cut costs and stop incinerating capital. So far, his words have mostly fallen on deaf ears among competitors in Europe and North America. But it appears Marchionne has finally found a receptive audience — in China. FCA shares soared Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the $18 billion Italian-American conglomerate controlled by the Agnelli family rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified carmaker from the Chinese mainland. As ugly as the politics of such a combination may appear at first blush, a transaction could stack up industrially, and perhaps even financially. A Sino-U.S.-European merger would create the first truly global auto group. That could push consolidation to the next level elsewhere. Moreover, China is the world's top market for the SUVs that Jeep effectively invented, so it might benefit FCA financially. A combo would certainly help upgrade the domestic manufacturer; Chinese carmakers have gotten better at making cars, but struggle to build global brands, and they need to develop export markets. Though frivolous overseas shopping excursions by Chinese enterprises are being reined in by Beijing, acquisitions that support the modernization and transformation of strategic industries still receive support, and the government considers the automotive industry to be strategic. A purchase of FCA by Guangzhou Automobile, Great Wall or Dongfeng Motors would probably get the same stamp of approval ChemChina was given for its $43 billion takeover of Syngenta. What's standing in the way? Apart from price (Automotive News said FCA's board deemed the offer insufficient) there's the not-insignificant matter of politics. Even as FCA shares soared, President Donald Trump interrupted his vacation to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to look into whether to investigate China's trade policies on intellectual property. Seeing storied Detroit brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and Dodge handed off to a Chinese company would provoke howls among Trump's economic-nationalist supporters. It might not play well in Italy, either, to see Alfa Romeo and Maserati answering to Wuhan instead of Turin — though Automotive News said they might be spun off separately. Yet, as Morgan Stanley observes, "cars don't ship across oceans easily," and political considerations increasingly demand local manufacture of valuable products.
