NHTSA Complaint #10055804 — 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE

WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND ALL OF THE GAUGES CEASED TO WORK PROPERLY. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO BLANK AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WOULD DIM. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *NM THIS WOULD OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING IN DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM BEGUN WITH THE AIRBAG, FOLLOWED BY THE ODOMETER, TACHOMETER, AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPING TO ZERO. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND "NO BUS" ERROR MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR ON THE ODOMETER. SOMETIMES THE GAS, BATTERY, TEMPERATURE, AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WOULD FAIL AS WELL. THE PROBLEM WOULD LAST FROM ANYWHERE UP TO FORTY MINUTES OR MORE. CORROSION WAS FOUND WHERE THE HARNESS PLUGS INTO THE CLUSTER. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES AND STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. *SC
