| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: As i have read mentioned by others at this website, about a year after i bought the jeep, my dash gauges would go down to zero and the airbag light would go on. this problem is a winter and wet-whether related problem. if i pound on the dashboard with my fist, sometimes the gauges will recover temporarily. if they do recover, they almost immediately go back down to zero. i spoke with a dealership about the problem. they acted surprised. i see from other peoples comments that their are numerous other occasions of this problem. i thought i was alone with this problem until earlier today when a mechanic friend of a friend mentioned someone else with the 1998 jeep wrangler has the exact same problem. i need a response from the government. has there been a recall issued on this? i have also had my catalytic converter "crumble to pieces" according to a local garage. he seemd to think that there was a recall on the catalytic converters. i am at a loss as to how to find out if there indeed has been a recall. please contact me.*ak |
