Warning!! Dangerous design flaw in the 2006 Jeep Wranglers!!

Not really. WWII vintage Jeeps were a man's vehicle, built to be
driven anywhere and everywhere. Today, Jeeps are yard ornaments,
built to look nice when parked in front of your house. Like your
lawn, today's Jeeps are not meant to be seen away from home.

Don't blame DaimlerChrysler. They are only building what wussy
consumers want to purchase. Anything more rugged that the company
tried to build, didn't sell, which is why they had to put the
"Diamler" part in front of "Chrysler".

The old Jeeps had their problems as well. My father ran a motor pool in the
1950's and was not all that impressed with the reliability of Jeeps in
peacetime service. As far as Chrysler goes, they just do not build quality
vehicles. The automatic transmissions in particular suck. The Cherokee was a
good concept, which has of course been copied and improved upon by quite a
few more quality oriented manufacturers. It's too bad they don't make better
vehicles because they have been coming up with some nice designs.
