Consumer Description

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/GAUGES INTERMITTENTLY STOP FUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. THERE IS NO WARNING, JUST A SHUT DOWN OF ALL GAUGES. I HAVE READ SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING ON THIS SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF WRANGLER. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT FUNCTION WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WHAT WOULD BE THE REASON THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO CORRECT THIS? *TR
