I PURCHASED A 1995 JEEP WRANGLER RIO GRANDE EDITION JAN 2003. IT HAD 103,000 MILES ON IT AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION. AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS I STARTED TO HEAR A COLD ENGINE KNOCKING IN THE 2.5L ENGINE. I HAD MECHANICLS CHECK THE LOWER END AND ALL LOOKED GOOD. I ALSO REPLACED THE OIL PUMP, LIFTERS, PUSHRODS AND ROCKER ARMS AND THE NOISE IS STILL THERE UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2.5L, AND 4.0L ENGINES THAT DC PRODUCED FROM 1991 - 1995 WHICH IS PISTON SLAP WHEN THE ENGINES GET OVER 70,000 MILES ON THEM. I ALSO FOUND A CLASS ACTION SUITE AGAINST DC CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMERS WON WITH THE OPTIONS OF A NEW ENGINE, GOOD TRADE IN ON ANOTHER CAR OR GREAT DISCOUNTS ON DEALER ITEMS. I CALLED DC AND ALSO WROTE A LETTER ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND THIS LAW SUITE. THE REPLY I GOT WAS THAT BASICALY SUCKS TO BE ME AND THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND THEY WILL NOT CORRECT THI...

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF A 1995 WRANGLER. THROUGH WARRANTY, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER 1999. LESS THAN 15K MILES LATER, I AM TOLD THE CONVERTER MUST BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE DEALER REFERRED ME TO CHRYSLER WHO HAVE OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER. IF I PURCHASE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, I RECEIVE A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. CHRYSLER PROVIDES AN 8 YEAR WARRANTY ON IT FROM THE DATE OF "IN SERVICE" OF THE VEHICLE (1995). THE REPLACEMENT DUE TO NO FAILURE OR MISUSE ON MY PART MAKES NO PROVISION FOR ANY EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY AND I AM TOLD NO ONE HAS ANY DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY ON THIS MATTER. APPARENTLY, THE OEM CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISN'T WORTH THE ENDORSEMENT. GUESS I WON'T GET THAT SECOND JEEP - CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP UP THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER PURCHASES IT REQUIRES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WORTHLESS WARRANTY ISSUES!
