  • ONA Jeep History
    Contact: Daniela Ferro Ariel Gavilan Jeep® History January 6, 2016, Auburn Hills, Mich. - In July 1940, the U.S. military informed automakers that it was looking for a “light reconnaissance vehicle” to replace the Army's motorcycle and modified Ford Model-T vehicles. The Army invited 135 manufacturers to bid on production and developed a lengthy specification list for the vehicle, including the following: 600-lb. (272 kg) load capacity Wheelbase less than 75 inches (190 centimeters) Height less than 91 centimeters (36 inches) Smooth-running engine from 4 to 80 kilometers (3 to 50 miles) per hour Rectangular-shaped body Four-wheel drive with two-speed transfer case Fold-down windshield Three bucket seats Blackout and driving lights Gross vehicle weight below 1,300 lbs (590 kg). At first, Willys-Overland and American Bantam Car Manufacturing Company were the only two companies answering the call. Soon, however, Ford Motor Company entered the picture, and competition began among the three over which company would receive the lucrative government contract. Each company produced prototypes for testing in record time. Bantam's chief engineer, along with a team of Bantam executives, worked out a design, and the company built its field car within 49 days. Willys-Overland Vice President of Engineering Delmar G. Roos designed the Willys Quad. Ford developed its Model GP (General Purpose), known as the Pygmy, which was powered by an adapted Ford/Ferguson tractor. Each company delivered its prototype to the Army in the summer of 1940 and received approval to build 70 sample vehicles. The Army took possession of these vehicles in November 1940 at Camp Holabird, Maryland.

  • Installing the Backlit SRT Airbag in a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT
    Installing the backlit SRT airbag in a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Parts / Tools Required 5RX61XRAD001 – backlit SRT airbag from 2015 Red Vapor edition JGC 18-22 gauge solid (not braided) wire (2-3 feet or so) 18-22 gauge butt splices (two of them) small diameter heat shrink tubing small nylon tie straps (3-5 of them) electrical tape #2 phillips screwdriver wire stripper / crimper small flat bladed screwdriver small wire cutter Instructions As with any work on or near the airbag you need to make sure you disconnect the negative battery cable . Let the system discharge for at least two minutes prior to trying to remove the airbag. I don’t want to be held responsible for any accidental airbag discharge while performing this upgrade. Keep in mind that this upgrade will go nowhere near the wiring for the dual stage airbag but let’s be safe just in case. Likewise, the only way the new airbag will fail to deploy is if you forget to reconnect the two airbag connectors when it the upgrade is complete. There is no risk of this airbag being “rejected” by your Jeep due to it being a 2015 airbag in a 2014 Jeep. Believe it or not, figuring out how to get the airbag off took the most time. I read the instructions for airbag removal in the trim removal instructions on wk2jeeps.com but there still seemed to be a disconnect between those instructions and my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The instructions state that there is a hole on either side of the steering wheel from which you will access the airbag retention clips.

  • Jeep® Brand Celebrates 80 Years by Building an Electric Present and Future
    *** PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH UNTIL 12:01 A.M. EASTERN, JULY 15, 2021 *** Jeep® Brand Celebrates 80 Years by Building an Electric Present and Future July 15, 2021, Auburn Hills, Mich. – On July 15, 1941, the former Willys-Overland Co. signed a contract with the U.S. War Department to begin production of the first military Jeep vehicle. Eighty years later, the Jeep brand thrives around the world with a product line-up that continues to expand into new segments, a devoted community of global customers and the utilization of 4xe electric vehicle technology as the natural evolution of 80 years of capability leadership "We’re celebrating our 80th anniversary by continuing to move upward and forward” said Christian Meunier, Jeep Brand Chief Executive Officer. "We’re expanding our portfolio into new segments, with the 3-row Jeep Grand Cherokee L, while setting a strong foothold in the premium SUV market, with our all-new Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. Next in our exciting global product pipeline is the introduction of the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee, which will be equipped, for the first time, with plug-in-hybrid 4xe technology. We are fully committed towards a vision of zero emission future, and by 2025 we will be offering a zero-emission fully electric Jeep 4xe in every SUV segment” To celebrate its anniversary and to honor this zero emission vision, the Jeep brand posted today on its social media channels the 80th Anniversary version of the Jeep Life Electrified video which debuted during the 2021 Stellantis’ EV day. The video showcases the unique nature of the electrification of the Jeep brand through a couple's love story.

  • Letter to NHTSA’S Office of Defects Investigation, June 15, 1978 at 2
    2 vehicle production data1, information on incidents involving rear impact and subsequent fire or fuel leaks, and data related to Chrysler’s self-certification tests for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 301, Fuel System Integrity. Information requests were also sent to manufacturers of peer vehicles to the Grand Cherokee and Liberty, including to Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Isuzu and Suzuki. Like the Grand Cherokee and Liberty, the peer vehicles are sport utility vehicles. The peer vehicles include the Toyota 4Runner, Ford Explorer, Jeep Wrangler, Nissan Pathfinder, Chevrolet Blazer, Mitsubishi Montero, Isuzu Rodeo, Isuzu Trooper, Suzuki Sidekick and Suzuki XL-7.2 Chrysler and the other companies responded to the information requests. In addition to this information, ODI obtained incident information from the fatality analysis reporting system (FARS) and NHTSA complaint databases regarding Jeep vehicles and the peer vehicles in rear crashes. For crashes where police accident reports were available, the police reports were collected for both peer vehicles and the Jeep vehicles. ODI analyzed the information. ODI’s analysis revealed that the MY 2002- 2007 Jeep Liberty and the MY 1993-2004 Grand Cherokee performed poorly when compared to all but one of the MY 1993-2007 peer vehicles, particularly in terms of fatalities, fires without fatalities, and fuel leaks in rear end impacts and crashes. II. Fuel Tank Locations A. Historical advances in gas tank location Prior to the 1970’s, fuel tanks in motor vehicles were predominately located aft of the rear axle. The vulnerability of tanks located behind solid rear axles in rear impacts became well known following a series of fiery crashes involving the Ford Pinto.
