Instrument cluster panel inoperable causing odometer, fuel gauge, speedometer, oil gauge, water temperature, etc to be inoperable, dealer replaced dealer replaced air bag control module.
If interior of vehicle becomes damp - either through rain with top inadvertantly left down, or by cleaning as indicated (with hose) in owner's video tape and information - the clock spring shorts out causing 1) air bag system failure 2) horn to go off constantly 3) intermittent drivability concerns. Dealership continually replaces rusty clock spring - however has no resolution for situation cause by normal use as indicated in owner's information (and all other previously owned jeep wranglers).
The check engine light keeps coming on. I have returned it for service 4 times, and need to bring it back in again. First they said it was a solenoid. Then they traced all of the wiring. The time after that they replaced the module. Next they replaced all of the spark plugs (recall service). They replaced the spark plugs 2-3 weeks ago, and the check engine light is already back on. The dealership's service has been good, but they nor chrysler seem to know why this is occurring.
Engine misfires while shifting up through the gears. I feels like plugs breaking down or poor fuel mixture, when at an idle there is poping from the tail pipe. I have had it back to the dealer two times they said that they could not find the same condition. It was there when I recived the jeep new and it is still there. I called chrysler and they called the dealer and recived the same report so nothing has been done yet. I need help to get this problem fixed. Thank you
