I own a lemon
 

Hello Jeep owners world-wide.
Thought you might like to read my story of 14 months of painful ownership of a Jeep.
If you already have/had one then you might know what I'm talking about. If you were thinking of
buying one then please read this first:

Re: I own a lemon
 

So you bought a used car, and then are upset when you have to put money into
it? How is it jeeps fault some kid dented your car? Most cars end up having ac
problems after a few years. Brakes wear out on all cars. The exhaust manifold
thing is pretty much common knowlege. I think alot of people expect to never
have any problems with anything and really do none of the required maintenance
that they suggest in the owners manual. I myself am guilty of not followin the
suggestions to a T. I really dont think you should be upset as you are.
Batteries go dead, brakes wear out, and ac systems have problems after a few
years.

Want a little cheese with that Whine?

As I see it the only legitimite gripe is the exhaust manifold. ( I just
MIGed my '91's header back together)
At 7 years, 70K you should expect some to require some repairs : Brakes,
Tires, Normal Tuneups, Complete fluids change, Air conditioner recharge,
Exaust system (excluding header). It sounds like your AC tech overfilled the
system, as that is the only reason I could see for a burst accululator. If
this is the case, then most likely he was also responsible for your
subsequent AC problems. Your keyless entry fob is normal. Most remotes get a
little flaky at this age. Disassemble it and clean the contact patches on
the pc with alcohol. It may be necessary to replace the conductive carbon
button on the rubber part, but kits are available to do this.
