The contact owns a 1999 Jeep Wrangler. While driving approximately 50 mph over a bump in the road, the blower motor failed to function.

I was driving an old washed out and bumpy mountain road. Due to the bumps, I could not go much faster than 15mph. The road/ground was wet and slippery so I was in 4hi. After going down the road for about 30 minutes and going around a turn, the airbag light came on. As I turned the wheel in the opposite direction, to go around a large downed tree, it momentarily shut off, then returned to on. I immediately turned the Jeep off and checked the airbag fuses. Both are good. Puzzled and rather nervous that the airbag might go off in my face, I turned around to go back to the main road. After nervously driving a few miles down the road, I returned the Jeep to the speed limit and attempted to engage my cruise control but, the light wouldn't turn on. I tried all the cruise control buttons to no avail. Pulled over and checked the fusebox again for the cruise control fuse but, I couldn't find one anywhere. After driving another 100 miles home, I let my sister's fiance, who's a mechanic, check it with his scan tool. According to his scan tool, the clockspring has malfunctioned. After doing a few google searches, it's apparent that the cost to have this fixed is very high. The part itself is over $200 and needs to be replaced by a mechanic! labor is going to be at least another $200 based on how much time it will take and the fact that it will more than likely have to be done at a dealership. Shouldn't this be a lifetime part? why should I have to pay to have this fixed if it's a major safety issue? any response would be greatly appreciated as I don't have the money to have this fixed and I'm rather nervous to drive it now. What are the odds of the airbag going off? best regards, eric gallegos.

My Jeep lost all power to the console/dash during night driving and I could not measure my speed, rpms, fuel or any other gauges. This included both the analog (needle) and digital (led) gauges. My 5-speed drove fine though, no sweat. So there I was, driving down the road, and I had no way to ascertain my velocity. There was no way to tell if I was going 20 mph or 120 mph. It was just me, my Jeep and my gut instincts. So, I pulled a fonzie and smacked the dash, and gave it my best "heyyyyyyyy" and you guessed it - after that all was well. The lights came back and I was doing a cool 60. Because I can't drive 55. After a little internet wizardry on my favorite search engine, apparently this is simply a loose connection from the dash ground. Being a Jeep owner, I simply replaced the faulty screw and didn't waste my time taking it to a dealer or whining about it online. Oh wait. . . I'm actually only reporting this problem because I wanted to validate the NHTSA complaint process. Looks like it is working. Hey v!.

My 1999 Jeep Wrangler is doing exactly what the recall says, but for some reason my VIN is not in the recall system as per the Jeep dealer! please help. . . This is not fair that the recall is not on my Jeep when it's doing exactly what the recall says! thanks.

1999 Jeep Wrangler with ground wire problems **answered by ric willard** cc the recall was 99v117000. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall. After the repairs the problem persisted. The consumer reached behind the cluster and when he pushed on one of the plugs they moved about an eighth of an inch. The consumer then heard the latched snap into position and he hasn't had a problem since. The heater also had a problem that the consumer thought would be corrected by recall but was not. The system changes the location of the air flow on it's own.
