DETROIT -- Chrysler Group LLC will suspend production of its popular Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited vehicles due to a shortage in parts from an unidentified supplier.
Chrysler will idle its Toledo Supplier Park facility in Ohio for one week starting Monday, the company said Friday without disclosing more details. The Wrangler has been one of Chrysler's best-performing vehicles in terms of sales for the year.
This is the second time Chrysler has changed its production schedule because of a parts issue. The auto maker also delayed adding a second shift to an Illinois plant by more than a month citing "continued stresses" on its parts suppliers.
Friday's announcement underscores previous reports that tension is growing between Chrysler and its suppliers. In addition to Chrysler's problem with shortages, some of the smaller parts makers are hesitating to commit to new vehicle projects, according to people familiar with the matter.

ping!.........
lol...that’s it...run out of parts on the only thing you make folks really want
Cummins diesels rule
Parts supply shortages? Sounds like Atlas is shrugging.
Suppliers are probably worried about getting paid. Good Year now pays in 70-90 days.
Well, when you are 120+ days with your suppliers and they put you on COD it makes it kind of tough to build cars.
Are they saying that the government can’t run GM and Chrysler? Shame on them.....now they’ll get a stern letter from the White House cause they’re making Obama look bad.
Don’t worry, Obama will “make” them sell their parts to Chrysler gratis..............
I adore my 2004 Grand Cherokee SE. Just adore it! Put some General Grabber AT2s on it and it looks just awesome. But I will never buy a new Jeep ever again.
The New Chrysler model Net 360!.................coming sooner or later!..............
I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4 and love it too. I had been waiting for the new 2010 or 2011 model. Not anymore. I'll never buy Chrysler. I'm looking at the new 2010 Toyota 4Runners.
I know the feeling. Love my Liberty, but because of the bailout, next car I get, I’m going to Ford.
Yeah, my next SUV will be a gently used 4Runner. Not sure I like the rumored redesign of it.

So, Ohio....how’s that Obama thing working out for you?
Love Jeeps.
I want a Wrangler to park next to our Cherokee but you cannot get any kind of a deal on a Wrangler.
Chrysler sells all they can make.
It has become very difficult to sell to any of the Big Three. I have sold coal to Chrysler and Ford. Ford offered to take my offer but locked me to a three year deal with a lower price in the second and third year. Chrysler wanted to same but never insisted on it.
Since Chrysler is now a government run business, they don't need to use any of these techniques because their job security is no longer based on performance but on political connections.
Their best selling vehicle is being further squeezed? They already charge sticker for the damned things.
