Consumer Description

MY 1998 CHEROKEE CLASSIC IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. THE ISSUES INVOLVE THE SPEED AND TACH GAUGES DROPPING TO ZERO, THE REST OF THE DASH GAUGES NOT RESPONDING FROM WHATEVER POSITION THEY ARE IN WHEN REST OF GAUGES GO SOUTH, THE "IDIOT" LIGHTS DON'T WORK, AND THE WRETCHED AIRBAG LIGHT LUMINATES THE WHOLE TIME ALL THIS OTHER STUFF IS GOING ON. THE SPEED IS NOT A FACTOR. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED, EVEN WHEN I FIRST START THE VEHICLE. IT CAN HAPPEN ONCE IN A WHILE TO SEVERAL TIMES IN A MILE, CUTTING IN AND OUT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON EVEN LONGER THAN WHAT I LISTED. FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR IS WHEN IT STARTED BEING MORE THAN A ONCE IN A WHILE, SPORADIC ISSUE. BEFORE THEN, IT HAPPENED LESS THAN 10 TIMES, SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE LATE 2007. *TR
