Electric aerial is jammed up, radio/cassette stopped working last time the Jeep went to the shop (for a new alternator). I guess that's a lesson for me to stop being a lazy b**** and get the socket set out myself.

Fuel gauge stays at full for 30s after I fill the tank and then falls down to 0 (with the warning light on) straight away. I just fill up every 200 miles.

 

My driver's side tweeter (Infinity System) only kicks in when I turn it above volume 17. It then stays on even if I turn it back down.

The factory CD changer will only play CD's written at the slowest speed on my computer.

The hatch only stays open in warm weather.

The steering column makes a very characteristic squeak when maneuvering before she's warmed up.

Something else in the steering column squeaks constantly while the XJ is cold, until she warms up or I drive on a smooth road. Strangely though, the squeak doesn't correspond with the bumps on the road at all, yet it's only on bumpy roads that it happens.

My brakes get incredibly snatchy when it's raining or after I've washed her, until I hold them on gently for a while (e.g. going down a hill).

One of my brakes sometimes shudders when braking fairly hard down-hill, whilst going around a corner, but only when they're already hot. Due to the fact that that situation doesn't arise very often, I've never checked it out!

She somehow feels faster with 4 surfboards on the roof - it's the only time I've ever reached 95, and it was by mistake!


I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff, but I can't remember it right now!

 

power windows stopped working, temporary fix with a paper clip

coolant leak from the thermostat housing - brand new gasket and it still leaks so will have to look into it further

i get a vibration in the drive line from 30 mph to 35 mph......put on a longer drive shaft and took care of the issue for a week, now its returning


These are things my jeep has.....not the jeeps fault....but sometimes i wish i could snap my fingers and everything would be all fixed

 

Hah well my '99 definitely isn't lacking. Drivers door won't hold itself open, none of the buttons on the drivers door work when it's open, passenger door will not shut sometimes, flick the handle closed and she's fine, hatch won't hold itself open, sometimes. Hood rubs against the plastic piece below the wipers and has cracked it. Has all kinds of custom rattles/squeaks. Has moderate vibration at exactly 60mph

 

1. Some times gets high start up idle even though I've replaced and cleaned everything I can think of that would cause it
2. Passenger door locks on a dime from drivers side cluster switch, but you have to play with it to unlock from the drivers side
3. My jeep sometimes randomly will die from being at a stopped position, kind of embarrassing :/

 

The front doors won't keep themselves open and the back doors are hard to close. The back hatch has to be pushed in while you open the latch. When you drive it for the first time on a given day it fires up in a half a crank. The rest of the day you have to hold the pedal down to get it to fire at all. Sometimes a lifter near the back of the motor squeaks, but never when you're trying to find it. You have to keep the power steering pump over full, but it won't take the full capacity of coolant to save its life. blows smoke into the air box like crazy, but isn't burning a drop on the dipstick. She gets about 15 mpg at 70 and about 20 at 80. The rear shock mount was busted for 5 months before I figured it out. Personality? yes.

 

good one!
