| Description of the problem | hello, we have a black paint job. We know this part is not a safety feature , but by aug. ,sept. The paint will be pilling off!!! Cracking really bad!!! We are the original owners. Have had old amc jeeps , never any problems !! Rust maybe because we had our 82 jeep from the very beginning. The other problem we have is the check engine light comes on when the fuel changes in pgh. Per season!!! Now there is a clunk in the rear housing, with our 4-wheel drive we have limited slip. We are thinking of selling by oct. ,jeep better be wary of lost sales. |
