The 4.0 Liter straight six cylinder engine runs strong, the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The 4-wheel drive (H and L) engages smoothly and operates normally. The engine starts right up, even on the coldest morning, even after sitting for a few days. The engine does not blow smoke or leak fluids, and passed a Virginia emission inspection in August 2013.

The upholstery is in good condition and is without tears, rips stains or marks, except for the side of the driver’s seat, which shows some cracking in the vinyl (see picture). The carpeting is in good shape (no rips, tears or stains) and there are 2 sets of floor mats (one set is rubber, one set is carpet like), but the floor mats are in worn condition (not shown in the photos). The rear seat folds forward for more cargo room, and this feature works correctly.

The Jeep is equipped with a trailer hitch and wiring to connect to the trailer (shown in the photos). The Jeep was used to haul a canoe, and the hitch was never overloaded. The after-market CD receiver includes the wiring to connect an amp (wiring includes: R/L audio, power and turn-on connections). An amp can be installed in the rear of the vehicle and the head unit can be set to drive a sub or full range amplification system. The CD receiver includes a remote control and includes various aux. connections on the front and back of the receiver. The CD receiver is connected to the built in speakers in the front doors and rear roof.

The Jeep’s paint is in good condition for a 15 year-old vehicle. There are some minor dings and scratches, and there is some minor rust. The pictures were taken right after a wash, and you can see the paint is still shinny. The car was garage kept for the first 10 years of life, and this was driven primarily as a commuter car to and from work.

The Jeep was a gift from an Aunt and Uncle for my son on his 16^th birthday in August 2013. The Aunt and Uncle where the original owners of the car, and was purchased by them in February 1999. The Jeep was occasionally used for travel with dogs, and although I cannot detect a pet smell, my son’s allergies were triggered, so the Jeep will not work out for him and we are selling it to buy something else. People with allergies may want check it out before bidding. The Jeep also has a low gas mileage, about 16-18 MPG, but the engine has not been tuned-up in a while, which might make a difference. Not all of the accessories function 100%. The power window switch at the driver’s door works correctly, but the window switches at the other doors operate intermittently. The power lock system does not lock the rear driver’s side door – the lock is gummed up and requires a lot of force to operate. It can be worked by hand with a lot of force. The remote lock fob stopped working when it got cold in October. I have changed the battery in the fob, but it does not work. The fob will be included in the auction. The AC needs to be recharged – we were told that the AC system has a slow leak and when charged up in the spring, it would last all summer. In August 2013 there was not any cold air. The heater blows nice and hot. The cruise control would not engage.

In August 2013, I needed to buy 4 new tires and have some front end suspension work done to get the Jeep to pass inspection in Virginia. My investment was $1200, which is where the auction starts. The mechanic recommended having rear suspension work done, as the original shocks were still on the car. I did not have rear suspension work done. The tires have about 500 miles on them, but they are all-season highway tires. If you are into 4-wheeling, you may want to consider different tires. The cold snap we had last week caused the windshield of the Jeep to crack. The crack is about 15 inches long and the windshield may need to be replaced depending on your state’s inspection requirements (see the pictures). Since this happened less than a week ago, I cannot say crack movement is complete. The first day it got a little bigger, but has not expanded since.

The Jeep has never let me down. It always starts up, runs strong and gets me where I need to go. I have been driving it as a commuter vehicle since August. The Jeep would be fine for a long distance drive as Aunt Betsy’s son delivered the Jeep to us after an 800 mile road trip.

Autoblog Minute: Wrangler Pickup, Triumph Fined, Cherokee Production Moves

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on highlights from the week in automotive news on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Triumph Motorcycles in violation of the Safety Act, Jeep looks to adjust its vehicle production strategy, and a Wrangler pickup may soon be be produced in Toledo. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore, and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Triumph Motorcycles was hit with a $2.9-million fine because of a failure to submit safety documents to NHTSA in a timely fashion. An investigation of 1,300 bikes in September of 2014 led to this finding. Other violations were then discovered, like the late reporting of quarterly recall completion rates, and Triumph's failure to supply warranty data. Fines for these violations may seem harsh but U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said: "Manufacturers must comply with their reporting obligations. The law requires it, and public safety demands it. When companies fail to meet those obligations, we will hold them accountable." In FCA news, it seems that production of the Jeep Cherokee will be moved from the Toledo plant to a nearby state. Automotive News first reported on this adding that Jeep may produce a pickup alongside Wrangler to fill the void left by Cherokee. Jeep declined to comment on this news. Speculation surrounding Jeep's production plans depends on the automaker's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, including details on Ford's performance Fusion. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

Weekly Recap: GM scales back as Russian auto market teeters

Sat, Mar 21 2015

General Motors' extensive plans to scale back its Russian operations are the latest sign the automotive market in the former superpower is collapsing – and there are few signs of recovery. GM said Wednesday it will stop selling mainstream Chevrolets and shutter the entire Opel brand in Russia. The moves leave GM with a luxury-focused presence consisting of Cadillac and Chevrolet's Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The cutbacks will be completed by the end of the year. The automaker will also idle its factory in St. Petersburg and end a contract-assembly agreement with Russian manufacturer GAZ. "We had to take decisive action in Russia to protect our business," Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said in a statement. "We confirm our outlook to return the European business to profitability in 2016 and stick to our long-term goals." GM is the latest automaker to scale back in Russia as the economic conditions, volatile currency and uncertainty over the conflict in the Ukraine all have sandbagged new car sales. Last month, vehicle sales collapsed 38 percent in Russia to 128,298 units, according to the Association of European Business, which records sales. Joerg Schreiber, chairman of the AEB automobile manufacturers committee, didn't even feign optimism in a statement announcing the figures. "The market is entering a very difficult phase now, and February is only the beginning," he said. "Industry sentiment is the next few months will be extremely difficult and the market bottom has yet to be found." The dovetails with industry experts, who predict the Russian auto sector will remain in the doldrums. IHS said earlier this year it expects Russia's sales to slip to just 1.8 million units in 2015, which is a 40-percent drop from 2012. Other News & Notes Chief leads Jeep's Easter Safari stable Jeep is bringing seven attention-getting concepts to Moab for its annual Easter Safari off-roading celebration in Utah, but the Chief is perhaps the standout of the group. It salutes the 1970s Cherokee with a throwback appearance and surfer styling cues. The Chief has a custom modified razor grille made famous by the Wagoneer, and it rolls on 17-inch slotted mag wheels. The surf theme comes in with ocean blue paint, floral cloth and leather seats and a tiki-style shifter handle. Based on the Jeep Wrangler, the Chief has removable sides, a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox.

What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."
