AMC....Where Quality Is Built In, Not Added On.  Well along with the quality, they added a touch of rust to mine.

Here is one of the last AMC Jeeps built and this one is as typical a Wagoneer as you will find. It runs great and has fantastic 4WD, but it is rust prone. I have owned this Wagoneer for 10 years and it has been fairly dependable, but when the gas prices went up, I started using it less and less. Now it needs some work to make it great again and I do not feel like bothering. I had the floors fixed years ago, but they are soft again. Mostly by the front and rear passenger doors. The hump seems solid as does the load floor. The rear brake line on the drivers side rusted out and the exhaust needs replacement. It is lot drivable, but I wouldn't hit the highways with it (maybe on a dare involving cash). The heater core looks like it is leaking when I brought it out to take pictures. The hitch also is pretty tired from rust too.

On the plus side, it always starts right up and the 4WD is operational and I have never gotten stuck with it even though I run street tires on it. It has a real 4 low on it which will pull out tree stumps. The paint on it still shines up and the woodgrain is pretty decent for a 26 year old car. The air did work but it has a slow leak and I had to recharge every other summer. It is still R12. I had a detachable face CD player professionally installed when I bought it that still works with newer front door speakers. The rear speakers are shot. The interior is very nice and the leather is still intact and pliable. The headliner is still up and isn't tore up. The front windows work fine but the rears are slow. Tailgate window works, but not the defroster.

This would make a great driver if someone has the patience and time to do floor pans and all the other issues I tried to describe. It always got positive comments wherever I went with it because there just are not many of these around anymore. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

NHTSA investigating why Jeep recall fix is taking so long

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

Jeep's saga with the National Traffic Safety Administration and the voluntary campaign to repair 1.56 million vehicles for allegedly unsafe trailer hitches, is getting yet another chapter. The controversy appeared to finally be over in January when the automaker found a supplier for the replacement parts. Nothing is ever that easy, though, and the government regulator is now requesting documents from the company to clarify why the repairs are taking so long to begin.
Jeep parent company Chrysler has until July 16 to submit documents and answers to NHTSA explaining the situation. The regulator claims that despite its compromise to inspect and repair the models with improper hitches in June 2013, Chrysler didn't find a part supplier until December and didn't order the replacements until January. The government agency believes that the first components weren't manufactured until May of this year and vehicles may not actually be repaired until as late as August. According to the report, if the Chrysler doesn't supply what NHTSA is asking for, the agency could "take additional appropriate action as warranted."
Throughout this entire process, Chrysler has asserted that the vehicles met the applicable crash test standards of the time, and it has kept NHTSA abreast of the repair activity. In a recently released statement it said that the regulator analyzed eight rear impact reconstruction tests and found the replacement hitch to be safe. To keep up with the high demand for replacements, Chrysler is working with multiple suppliers, and they are running three shifts, six days a week to get the parts ready as soon as possible.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and a Final Four of automakers | Autoblog Podcast #723

Fri, Apr 1 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. We start out with news on the Lotus Eletre and Ferrari Purosangue. These two high-end crossovers are followed by discussions about the new inline-six engines from Stellantis and an overabundance of Hummer EV orders. Next we try something we've never tried before: ranking automaker blue bloods. We took inspiration from the current NCAA tournament, which features Duke, North Carolina, Villanova and Kansas — very much traditional blue-blood basketball programs — to name our Final Four automakers. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our picks and what your definition of a blue blood car brand is.

Jeep Grand Cherokee in headliner fire probe

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching an investigation into 146,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2012 model year, The Detroit News reports. This comes as the result of the government safety agency receiving three complaints from owners who cited fires inside the Jeep's cabin.
According to the report, NHTSA says:
"The customers reported a burning odor and visible smoke coming from the headliner while the vehicle was being driven. This was followed by flames from the headliner itself. Customers lowered the windows in an effort to clear the smoke but this increased the fire's intensity. All three vehicles had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by the fire department as they continued to burn after the vehicle was turned off."
