Description of the problem	I bought my 1997 jeep wrangler in june, 2002 from a used car dealer in baltimore, md with an as-is warranty and was told the vehicle had passed inspection and was in good condition. It had 64,000 miles on it and appeared to be good. Since then i have had nothing but problems with this jeep. First the wiring harness, then the transmission, now a diagnosis to replace the intake and exhaust manifold, replaced fuel pump and has a faulty fuel gauge, and possibly the stabilizer bar or steering components. This jeep is costing me more in repairs than the actual value of it. I fear that it is unsafe and that i m facing more expenses if i keep it, but i am still making payments on it. Do i have any recourse as far as lemon law protection, recalls, help!!! I don't know what to do with it. *jb
