Consumer Description

I HAVE ONLY INCLUDED THE ONE DATE I CAN REMEMBER THAT JEEP WAS IN THE REPAIR SHOP. BUT, TO THIS DATE, AFTER JEEP WARMS UP AND THEN IS SHUT OFF FOR APPROX 20 MINUTES, IT HESITATES ON ACCELERATION. DEALER SAID COULDNT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. OIL GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO, THEN ENGINE KNOCKED & I SHUT OFF. DEALER SAID OIL PRESSURE OK, COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROB. IT STILL DROPS BELOW 20 SOMETIMES, BUT NOT ZERO AGAIN. I HAVE HAD MANIFOLD BOLTS REPLACED TWICE AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED ONCE. WATER LEAKS ON PASSENGER SIDE & DRIVERS SEAT BELT GETS CAUGHT IN DOOR LATCH.
