I will try to be as thorough as possible, but please ask any questions you may have.  I purchased this Jeep pre-owned from Faulkner Mazda in Harrisburg 4 years ago.  It has been invaluable in inclement weather, very well cared for, and still receives compliments on how great it looks.  I hate to see it go, but will be purchasing a new vehicle at the end of the month.

Mechanical:  The engine idles smoothly, runs well, and was serviced at the dealership on 3/12.  The starter motor was replaced 11/12 along with a new Mopar battery.  The oil has been replaced with synthetic oil every 5000 miles I've owned it.  The transmission shifts through all gears and overdrive smoothly.  Transfer case in 4WD All Time sends power between front and back wheels as needed, 4WD Low engages and works.  The heat and A/C are both functioning, however the A/C could use a recharge.  Steering feel is tight, has no wheel wobble, and is power assisted.  The steering stabilizer was replaced 12/11.  Brakes engage smoothly and ABS is functioning properly.  The front calipers and pads were replaced 3/13.  The suspension has not been modified, but it does have the factory Up Country lift.  Exhaust had been upgraded by the previous owner with a Gibson system, sounds great, and has passed Pennsylvania Emissions Controls.  The Jeep also passed Pennsylvania State inspection and is valid until 8/15.  The cooling system is functioning, but when going uphill or during long periods at highway speeds the temperature gauge climbs past 210 degrees.  Although the coolant temperature remains within the normal operating range, it should not be fluctuating.  I was quoted $590 parts and labor to replace the radiator but this has NOT been repaired.  The Jeep should probably be trailered or towed if you're planning to pick it up from a long distance away.

Exterior:  The paint still shines and has been professionally detailed every year I've owned it.  There are no faded body panels.  There are a couple rust spots developing on the driver side front fender and lower rock rails.  There is also rust coming through the paint below the rear passenger side door (see pictures).  There is a small scratch above the passenger side wheelwell and another on the rear quarter panel near the tail light, a ding above the Jeep badge on the liftgate, and two small scuffs on the rear bumper.  The front driver and passenger windows have been professionally tinted and there are no cracks or scratches on any windows.  The chrome Jeep wheels still shine but do show some signs of corrosion.  On 5/12 a 4 wheel alignment and upgraded Goodyear Duratrac 245/70 R17 were installed.  The tires have less than 10k miles on them, and were rotated at 5k.  The Jeep was hit at low speed by another vehicle on driver side front fender.  Nothing mechanical was damaged, only cosmetic.  I have the incident report, insurance write-up, and final invoice for repair by Glass & Sons Collision in Reading, PA.  The universal roof rack cross rails pictured will be included in the sale.

Interior:  The leather seats still look great, but the suede does show some wear.  The leather on the steering wheel is still tight and looking good.  There are no cracks on the dashboard, but there is a small crack in the wood grain trim on the passenger side, and the plastic trim around the shifter is curled.  The Jeep has never been smoked in and has no odors.  The headliner is still tight and shows no signs of leaks or damage.  The carpet is in great condition and the carpeted floor mats will be included in the sale along with the owners manual, 2 sets of keys, and 2 remote fobs.

Electrical:  All power windows, door locks, sunroof, adjustable pedals, and mirror motors are all functioning.  The power front driver and passenger seats are both fully power adjustable, including the lumbar support and driver memory settings.  The heated seats also work great and heat up fast.  The steering wheel mounted controls for the cruise control and audio system are all functioning.  The audio system still sounds great, with no blown speakers.  The navigation system still functions and the map DVD will be included in the sale.  The system can also play AM / FM / single CD / or an Aux device.  The 10 disc CD Changer in the truck does still work, but has been rewired to allow for the Aux jack instead.  All interior, exterior, and dashboard lights are functioning, as well as the automatic headlights.  The wipers all work including the rain-sensing feature for the front wipers.  The automatic climate control is in good working order and the blend doors function properly. The overhead console includes functioning HomeLink transmitter, trip computer, compass, temperature, and tire pressure monitor system.  The TPMS reads "Service Tire Pressure System" when the jeep is started, but once on the move the error goes away and all tire pressures read correctly.  The Tire pressure sensor re-learn magnet along with the full size spare tire and wheel will be included in the sale.

UPDATE:  I took the Jeep to another mechanic for a second opinion on the coolant temperature issue.  He used a heat gun and verfied the radiator is still in good working order and determined the water pump was bad.  This has been replaced and the Jeep now maintains the correct coolant temperature, around 195-200 degress.  I took the Jeep out on the Interstate for a 30 mile drive today and confirmed the issue is resolved!


On Sep-24-14 at 20:09:55 PDT, seller added the following information:

UPDATE:  The Jeep was at the dealership today to have all recalls addressed as well as a multi-point inspection.  This Jeep is ready for it's new owner!

Stellantis reports record margins, $7B profits despite chip shortage

Tue, Aug 3 2021

MILAN — Automaker Stellantis on Tuesday said it achieved faster-than-expected progress on synergies and record margins in its first six months as a combined company, despite suffering 700,000 units in lower production due to interruptions in the semiconductor supply chain. The company — formed from French carmaker Peugeot PSAÂ’s takeover of the Italian-American company Fiat Chrysler — reported net profit of 5.9 billion euros ($7 billion) in the first half of 2021, compared with a loss 813 million euros during the same period a year earlier, which was impacted by the coronavirus restrictions around the globe. Shipments rose 44% to 3.2 million units, while revenues rose 46% to 75 billion euros. “We are very pleased with the speed with which the new team has begun to execute as one company, as Stellantis,Â’Â’ Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told reporters. Semiconductor shortages accounted for 200,000 units of production losses in the first quarter and 500,000 in the second quarter. Semiconductors are used more than ever before in new vehicles with electronic features such as Bluetooth connectivity and driver assist, navigation and hybrid electric systems. Stellantis achieved 1.3 billion euros in cost savings in the first half, mostly by sharing investments in new technologies and platforms, which Palmer said was a faster rate than initially forecast. It aims to achieve 80% of the targeted 5 billion in cost savings by 2024. “These synergies allow us to continue to invest in the electrification strategy, which we talk about every day,” Palmer said. Stellantis, which lags competitors in rolling out electric vehicles, plans to launch 21 fully electric or plug-in gas electric hybrid vehicles over the next two years. North American posted record profitability on global sales of Ram trucks and the strong launch of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which was the best-selling plug-in gas electric vehicle in the United States in the second quarter. Stellantis was the market leader in South America and second in Europe. The results were presented on a pro-forma basis, taking into account the performance of each of the carmakers as separate entities during 2020.

Stellantis will enter joint venture with Samsung SDI for EV batteries

Tue, Oct 19 2021

SEOUL — South Korean battery maker Samsung SDI Co Ltd and global automaker Stellantis NV have agreed to jointly produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries for the North American market, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Samsung SDI, an affiliate of South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics, already has EV battery plants in South Korea, China and Hungary, which supply customers such as BMW and Ford. "The two companies (Samsung SDI and Stellantis) have struck a MOU (memorandum of understanding) to produce EV batteries for North America," the person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The source spoke of condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The person said the location of the battery joint venture is under review and will be announced later. In July, Reuters reported that Samsung SDI may build a battery plant in the United States, citing a company source. South Korea's Yonhap news agency earlier reported the two companies plan to build a factory in the United States, citing industry sources. Samsung SDI and Stellantis did not have immediate comment when reached by Reuters. Stellantis on Monday struck a preliminary deal with battery maker South Korea's LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America. Shares of Samsung SDI were up 2.6% as of 0300 GMT, versus a 0.6% rise in the KOSPI benchmark index.
