1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee -- for repair or parts.

140,000 miles, no rust to speak of, ran great until I swerved to avoid a deer and hit a tree. Front left unibody is bent, but vehicle still drives fine and tracks straight.

6cyl, auto, 4wd.

Recent new radiator, front U-joints, 85,000 mile used transmission about 4k miles ago, exhaust, brakes and rotors, ABS sensor, Infinity power amp, various other parts. A/C works, cruise works, all power stuff works fine, except as noted. Windshield was recently replaced, and is nice and clear. Interior is okay -- not great, but not utterly disgusting.


Have 4 extra factory rims. (NOTE: the tires shown in the pictures are nearly new Cooper light truck studded snows, which I am NOT including with the sale. I will be replacing them with 4 older Cooper tires of the same size, unless buyer wants to purchase them separately.) Clean title.

I swapped the brand new battery out into my other vehicle, so the Jeep has to be jumped, but it starts right up and drives fine, other than a bit of rubbing.

There WERE a few issues with the vehicle, which I was in the process of addressing when the accident occurred, and I will list them as completely and honestly as I can:

1. The spline/connector on the front drive shaft slips, so it makes a noise when you engage 4wd. My mechanic told me it's not a big deal to replace.

2. There's an error message that says: "Coolant Sensor Bad". The coolant sensor has been replaced, and my research suggests that the problem is a faulty solder contact in the diagnostic readout on the console, but I have not gotten around to removing it to check.

3. Had an intermittent starting problem that we suspected was related to chassis ground. To test this hypothesis, I ran an old jumper cable from the battery ground, through the firewall, and clamped it to the seat frame, and that did solve the problem, so will need to make a more permanent connection underneath.
4. Hatch shocks are shot.

5. I removed the aftermarket radio I had in there and put the original cassette/cd unit back, but it has a broken knob.

6. There's a code coming up that indicates a 3-4 shift modulator (which can be replaced without removing the transmission). It's been there since I installed the transmission, and the transmission shifts fine, so I pretty much ignore it and figured I'd take care of it the next time I had the pan down for normal trans maintenance.

I think that about covers it. Drivetrain is strong and reliable. Suspension is good.

Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The FCA Owner apps also feature an augmented reality function that helps drivers identify instrument-panel icons. There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android. If you've got more than one FCA vehicle in your garage, you needn't download multiple versions of the app as they'll work on any model the Italian-American automaker offers. Mopar Enhances FCA Owner Apps - Redesigned FCA Owner apps offer a wide range of VIN-specific information - Owners can access maintenance schedules, service history, recall notices and more - "Augmented reality" function, beginning with 2015 models, allows owners to use camera feature on mobile devices to scan and identify instrument panel icons - Industry-first Accident Assistant feature helps owners easily document important accident information and quickly locate a certified repair facility - Individual brand versions of the app support all FCA brand vehicles - FCA Owner apps are free to download for both iOS and Android mobile devices May 29, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Mopar brand has redesigned and enhanced its suite of FCA Owner apps, putting more resources than ever at owners' fingertips with easier access to vehicle and lifestyle information.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.
