push it in a ditch, set it on fire.
Damn you Jeep....damn you to HELLLLL!!!
It got to the point where the dealer was suggesting that very thing.
I'm not a fan of the newer jeeps at all...still prefer the 97-01 cherokees most or the 99-05 grand cherokees for reliability....
Reliability... maybe.
Buddy of mine bought a jeep commander for his wife, so naturally we took it out for a test run on some logging roads... I was amazed at where this thing was going. My old cherokee can't hold a candle to it.
My wife's step father has a commander. Big time huntin' an' fishin; guy. He loves his...
Whats really ****ty about that statement.. A friend of mine just had this happen to his Toyota pickup.... 02 with a 4 banger. He was driving and it felt like the front wheel was about to fall off... Pulled over, amd BAM, the truck dropped the frame to the ground. The upper mount for the spring seat cracked off the frame..... He took it in to toyota after hearing about a recall for this, toyota decided at this point it was unsafe ti inact the recall repair due to it already being broken ,and the trucks value was not enough for frame replacement. So he got a call stating he was receiving a check for 4800, and to come pick up his personall items out of the vehicle before its sent to be crushed and destroyed..... He asked if he could buy it salvage, they said not a chance there isnothing you can do to get this truck back, here is 4800 what we feel the value is as this point..... He called a lawyer, totally and completly legal, there is no true safe way to repair this vehicle......
SO he is out his truck, and stuck riding moto in all this wonderfull weather socal is getting right now, specially seeing he hasnt yet received his payment.
Hmmmmm, sounds a litte fishiny to me, you would think if there was any corrosion on the wiring before they replaced the PCM, they would have noticed it then, specially at the PCM. the wiring can be pretty small there, and its already fragile, if it corroded enought o be causing a problem it should have broken when they were mucking around taking it apart. That, or they did notice it, and did a half ass repair on it which held for a little, and now its worse.
Oh yeah....Try it now
Fixed. 05 was the first year with the 3.7l V6 and IFS. My boss has one and wish he had got a leftover '04 with the 4.0 (which I have).

miles > years
We've got 13 on our Subaru. Only 166K miles, though.
That's a baby.
Thanks for the fix. I'm not as much of a fan of the newer jeeps, and wasn't sure when the wk came out and didnt feel like searching.Fixed. 05 was the first year with the 3.7l V6 and IFS. My boss has one and wish he had got a leftover '04 with the 4.0 (which I have).
my list so far,
92 yj with 2.5 liter 31's
97 tj on 31's
97 tj on 35's
88 yj on 33's
98 xj on 31's
98 xj stock
01 tj on 35's
94 yj on 36's
Never a major failure out of any of them that wasn't self induced.
Old lady had an 01 wj for a while that was great for us as well.
The 4.0 in all those was great, the 4.2 carb in my 88 ran kinda ****ty in the cold, but I didn't ever mess with the carb, and it burned a quart of oil every 500 miles....but it never left me stranded and had well over 200k on it.
didn't think I'd find this, lol 88yj in ontario north of Lake superior in '01
and my 94 on 36's just after I finished the roll cage on it.
Damn, must spread.
A guy at work has a '42 flat fender Willys MB. I would KILL to have that thing.

FWIW....my WJ has 120000 kms......so divide by 1.6.....
Must spread?
I have literally hundreds of friends into the jeep thing. A buddy of mine when I lived up in Marquette had a super clean '42 Cj2a that we put a 4.3 liter into, dana 44's front and rear and he rolled on 33 swampers, he wanted it to be capable but wanted to stay mostly stock appearence as well. The thing was mint too.
Most of my buddies now are into building rock buggies from scratch, dana 60's and 39-44" tires.

So did replacing the corroded wires fix it? I've got a 97 wrangler that sounds like it's going down that road. It's been parked outside two blocks from the beach for the last 3 years, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few things had started to corrode....
course it's also had the crap beaten out of it for the last 10 years so there could be lots of other reasons too...

You can't tell because the odometer broke, right?

agreed....make model and code please. I have a buddy who is a very good jeep tech and another who is a service writer at the same dealership.
You should get one of those spare wheel covers that say "it's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand". Might save you from having to explain things when stuck motionless on the side of the road.
From my experience..........service writer = garbage in -> garbage out.
With due respect to the few good ones, service writers tend to be the same caliber as the help at drive-in windows.
