I'm glad to hear that you had no problem. I hope I didn't get a lemon. Hopefully the'll replace that bad computer and I'll be OK. For the 2 days that I drove it, I really loved it. I went for a ride on the beach last friday night with the top down and the doors off. It was a blast! |

I hope I don't jinxs myself by posting this, but I have had no problems so far. I have had my Sport for three months, it might be too soon to tell, but it seems to be holding up so far. I will keep everyone posted!! |

I just got my self a 2001 jeep wrangler sport on Sunday and I LOVE IT! I have a concern though.. has anyone here had a problem with theft? either theft from the jeep or of the jeep or of the stereo? I'm scared that someone might be able to just rip my stereo out since i have a soft top. Does anyone suggest I get an alarm or a club or something? if so what should i get? what type/brand etc. also i cant wait to take it out 4x4ing, anyone here from the san diego ca, area know of anywhere i can go? Tanks |

| Of all the vehicles I have owned over the last 20 years - the 99 Sahara had the least amount of problems - this includes a few Japanese products in there as well. In over 20K miles one trip to the dealer to replace a break light switch. The biggest gripe was the louder than hell soft top and the low grade stereo for which I spent considerable cash to improve - mild improvement for the cash involved and still had to overcome the noisy soft top. From reading some of the posts on the new 2001 soft top - that problem is much better and the added woofer in the console should be a great help. I also liked having two tops - the hard top was a blessing on extended trips - where motel parking was more secure and the atmosphere change from the soft top was cool - more upscale feel when you needed it. Have fun | |
| Sounds like Jeep has a major quality control issue. After driving bulletproof Toyota 4x4's for so long, Im starting to wonder about JEeps quality....... | |

| Here is a list of some of the problems I have..... The paint is horrible, tranny sucks, clunks and grinds, sticks and rattles. 3rd brake light didn't work on delivery, noticed when I got home. it wasn't plugged in. engine is very rough. vibrates at 60-65, steering wheel is crooked, rear-end leaks, no child tether strap anchors. the book and the DC web site say they have it. fenders and doors and hood don't line up, the doors didn't close right when I got it. after the dealer told me that was normal for a jeep, I brought it home and fixed them! And without using the clutch I can make my jeep go fast enough to go into gear. on flat ground. who needs a clutch, I own a jeep! Good luck to any of you who are as stupid as I was and bought a Jeep! You are gonna need it. Oh buy the way, I am in the process of trying to lemon law this "shitbox" Oh and another thing, Medway Auto is where I bought mine so I would advise you all to stay away from them! They are in Medway MA and all of the above are either normal for a jeep or are not really there. | |

I personally don't like the sunriders. I never owned one though. I like the bikini tops because it is hot here and it will keep the sun off of you and you get plenty of wind with the top down. With your doors on and bikini top on you won't get wet. It all depends really. If your moving it is not bad at all. At lights you may get a little wet or if it is raining sideways. You probably would want to keep your carpet out when you drive with your bikini top on for a long period of time and know it will get rain in it. Bestop is good. |

I would only get a hard top if you have a lot of cold weather or snow there. Winter driving should be fine. Just take it easy just like you would with any other car. You can also use 4wd so it should be an advantage. If the soft top on the 2001 makes a big difference I would go with the 2001. I am sure you can't get a 2001 top on a 2000. Maybe in a few months you can't get one aftermarket. Reason not to buy: I think there is a quality control problem with jeeps but not everyone is having problems and I would still get one. |

Lots of people have had problems with theft in jeeps. Basically you don't want to leave anything of value in your jeep. I would not worry one bit about them stealing a stock stereo. They are not worth it. An alarm is not a bad idea. I don't have one yet but would like to get something. I have heard good things about clifford. You may want to get one with motion sensors and shock sensors. 4x4ing: Check the internet for a jeep club in SD. They will know of good places to go and show you the right way to off-road. |

You may want to try another dealership. I know of two dealerships in my city that I would never take my jeep. Have you called Chrysler? I think they have a website called lemonlaw.com that might have useful info. You should of got a book also from the dealer explaining the lemon law process. You may not want to go to another dealership if you are trying to use the lemon law. I am not sure how that works. There definetly seems to be a quality control problem with Jeeps. Not everyone is having problems but I guess you are one of the unlucky ones. I had a paint run on my hood, which I am bringing in for them to fix and my a/c compressor went out. My manual trans is a little sticky but not to bad. I have had my jeep for three months. I still love my jeep and I am happy with it. Hopefully Chrysler gets there act together |
