Description of the problem	My 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited began to have starting problems. At first it was very intermittent and i assumed it was due to a worn battery so i replaced the battery with a new one and the problem was resolved for about 4 days. Again, the vehicle would not start without repetitive turning on and off of the ignition until it would finally start. This problem occurred every few days. Finally on the morning of 8-23-2010 the vehicle would not start no matter how many times the key was turned. After about 50 attempts it finally turned over and i drove it directly to my local jeep dealer to have the problem investigated. That afternoon i received a call telling me that the problem was common amongst 2007 and 2008 wranglers. The technician said that there is a design defect which causes a poor grounding between the battery and the starter. He said that they had been installing a new grounding strap between the battery and the starter and that it was $177. 00 and not covered by warranty even though it is a known design defect. Upon getting my jeep back from the shop i looked under the hood to see this $177. 00 grounding cable and it is simply a $10 battery cable attached to the negative post on the battery and run over the top of the engine, down along the firewall, and attached somewhere on the back side of the engine. Really, it is ridiculous that jeep has a poor design and then charges owners to repair it. From what the dealer technician told me this is not an uncommon problem.
