This car has an electrical issue that no-one can figure it out. It keeps giving us all these error codes: p0430, p2305, p2311, p2317 and p0430. We had replaced all the sparkplugs, the electric coils, battery, starter, the computer (PCM), ignition switch, the 02 sensor and still the car will not stay on and shakes while is running.

Drivers side door lock and rear view mirror control does not work at all. Seems to be the wiring that goes thru the door into the body. This is a safety hazard. Not possible to get a photo due to the covering of the wires cannot be opened.

The steering gear is coming apart and is slipping which causes it to feel like you're driving sideways down the road. The windows will not go down without making a horrible noise and the thermostat housing needs to be replaced. After driving the jeep it smells like its been on fire.
