1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Sport Utility 4-door 4.0l - Needs Repair - Red on 2040-cars
Livonia, Michigan, United States
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 Red with 153,156 miles This vehicle needs repair before it can be driven. It must be towed from in front of my house.
Please see the picture of the Mechanic’s Invoice. The Idler Pulley came loose, and the bolt for the Idler bent and damaged the Coolant Tube connecting to the Water Pump. The Bracket the bolt attaches to was also damaged, and must be replaced. This is a labor intensive repair, which will require replacement of all of the aforementioned parts, most likely including the Water Pump (The water pump was replaced only 11 months ago (8k miles ago)). No accidents. See AutoCheck Report. Clear Title in hand. Please read below for information on repairs made over the last year, and things on the Jeep that do not work. Repairs made over the last year: Fuel Pump – 4 months ago, 4 thousand miles ago Ignition Coil – 4 months ago, 4 thousand miles ago Crank Sensor – 5 months ago, 4+ thousand miles ago New Radiator – July 2013 (can’t find the receipt with date and mileage) Track Bar & Steering Stabilizer replacement – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago Water pump & thermostat replacement – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago A/C recharge – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago Engine cleaning and power steering fluid change – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago The battery is 16 months old, and it is an 8 year warranty battery (not transferable)
The following things do not work, or are faults with the vehicle: The fuel guage does not work. The electric windows on the passenger side do not work most of the time. There is a bad ABS speed sensor on the left rear wheel (ABS light on). The gauge light and chime come on from time to time, while at the same time the oil pressure gauge drops. It is apparently a gauge or instrument cluster problem (google on this to see it’s a common Jeep issue). The vehicle used to have another common Jeep problem, engine stalling. The problem went away when I removed the PCM cover screws (google Jeep PCM screws). But, I suspect the problem will eventually come back, and more digging on google revealed that the issue is intermittent solder joints inside the PCM cover (so removing screws changed the torque on the cover relieving the issue, for now). The passenger side carpet used to get wet when running the A/C over time on the highway. It was apparently a plugged drain from the condenser (another common Jeep problem you can google about), so it is believe to be solved. It has a fault code for an oxygen sensor. The Airbag light is on sometimes. The radio does not play loud. It will for a minute until it warms up, but it is apparently folding back on the gain due to heat. The aftermarket remote keyless entry operates all locks except the driver door. The driver door has to be opened with the key. (I know, that’s so backwards). The driver door opens and closes OK, but it is rickety. Rust in spots shown in pictures, but not really any to speak of under doors. Tires are all OK on tread, but not matched. Please feel free to ask any questions. $100 deposit through PayPal required upon winning the auction. Cash only accepted when picking up the vehicle. Please pick up promptly, and be prepared to tow. SOLD AS IS. NO WARRANTY. Thank you!

Jeep in St. Louis hacked from Pittsburgh
Tue, Jul 21 2015One of America's most popular vehicles contains a security flaw that allows hackers to remotely commandeer it from anywhere on the planet. Cyber-security researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller say they've accessed critical vehicle controls on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee that allowed them to remotely control critical vehicle functions like braking, transmission function, and steering. Automakers have downplayed the possibility a car could be remotely compromised, but the significance of the findings detailed Tuesday could cause them to reevaluate the threats posed to hundreds of thousands of vehicles already on the road. A key finding – the pair needed no physical access to the Jeep to pull off the attack. Valasek and Miller accessed the controls via a security hole in the Sprint cellular connection to Chrysler's UConnect infotainment system. In the course of their research, Valasek sat in his Pittsburgh home and remotely manipulated Miller's Jeep as he drove along a highway outside St. Louis. If you know a car's IP address, they say, a hacker could control it from anywhere. "We didn't add anything, didn't touch it," Valasek told Autoblog. "A customer could drive one of these things off a lot, and they'd have no clue it had these open attack surfaces." Remotely, he disabled brakes, turned the radio volume up, engaged windshield wipers and tampered with the transmission. Further, they could conduct surveillance on the Jeep, measuring its speed and tracking its whereabouts. They conducted the experiments over multiple breaches. They made their findings public on the same day the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal agency in charge of vehicle safety, released its latest report on the readiness of government and automakers to fend off these sorts of cyber attacks. Later today, two US Senators are expected to introduce legislation that would help consumers better understand the potential risks of car hacking. In the early stages of their research, Valasek and Miller found a security flaw in the car's wi-fi that allowed them to remotely manipulate controls from a range of about three feet. But in recent months, they found another vulnerability in the Sprint cellular connection in the UConnect system. That was a key breakthrough. "Lo and behold, we found we could communicate with this thing using cellular, and then more research, and 'Holy cow,' we're using the Sprint network to communicate with these vehicles," Valasek said.
Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
