Dt: yesterday the air bag light came on I and the horn stopped working. I was not under recall, dealer going to charge consumer for repairs. Last week the same thing happened with dodge caravan. They were both chrysler products ,and the dodge had a recall. However the jeep did not.
I have had this problem 3 times with my vehicle now. The vehicle was having heater problems on highest and second highest speeds. Took the jeep to the dealership and paid deductable on the service contract in october 2002. Dealer replaced the under dash harness, blower motor and the blower motor resistor. I continued to have problems and took it to my personal mechanic that discovered that the heater control module had failled as well. He replaced the heater control module and jeep worked fine for 1 year. The heater began to have the same problems again and my personal mechanic replaced the blower motor, blower motor resistor and the heater control unit as well as replacing a burnt wire. The heater again lasted just over a year before actually catching fire under the dash. The entire under dash harness, blower motor, blower motor resistor and heater control unit were again replaced. No additional problems within the past week after receiving the jeep from the shop.
While vehicle was parked and without warning consumer saw smoke under hood. Lifted hood and saw a fire on top of engine. Dealer was notified .mechanic kept vehicle for about 5 days; however, was unable to repair vehicle.
While vehicle was parked and without warning it caught on fire. This was the second jeep, wrangler that had caught on fire. Vehicle was totaled.
Vehicle was cutting off while in 1st gear with parking brake on. Half an hour later, consumer heard a door bang, vehicle had hit house, and caught on fire. Consumer felt vehicle started on its own. Please provide any further information.
The consumer smelled LED burning/ plastic prior to stoppin, the fire originated in the power distribution box. Claim number 17-9135-135.
The consumer's vehicle rear bolt fell off of the rear stabilizer twice. First, due to manufacturer defect, and second due to mechanic's fault resulted in loss of control, which was almost fatal.
An under hood fire while traveling. Vehicle at dealer for inspection. Causes have not been determined at this time. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
While the vehicle was parked, the horn sounded on its own accord, and continued for over 6 hours until the battery ran down. When I jump started the vehicle, the horn started again, then stopped. Several miles later, it went off again, and didn't stop until I disconnected it. The jeep repair tells me that there is a national back order on this part. Doesn't that warrant a recall?
Upon starting of vehicle after fueling a 'pop' was heard from the engine compartment and engine stalled. Restarted engine with no difficulty and encountered a high idle speed. Checked to see if linkage was somehow binding or if vehicle had backfired through the throttle body. No evidence of damage due to backfire so proceeded to drive vehicle. After traveling approximately 40 miles of highway encountered a stop light, applied brakes to find that there were none. At that point realized that the sound heard upon starting was that of the vacuum booster hose seperating from the manifold. Noted that neither hose installed at this point are secured with a hose clamp. Reinstalled hose and have had no further occurrence.
Engine check light came on/vehicle started smoking. Consumer could smell gas.turned vehicle off and had it towed. Dealer said said it was the PCM. Also, manual transmission makes noise and it is difficult to change gears.
Consumer went to press the horn when it did not sound. Kept pressing the horn pad when airbag fell off. Apparently airbag was never bolted down at the factory which caused it to fall. Consumer called manufacturer, and was told that mistake happened, and there was a warranty to correct it.
