Consumer Description

THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR. SWITCH ASSEMBLY ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE. TALKED TO SEVERAL JEEP TECHNICIANS-THIS IS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE. CONFIRMED WITH AUTO SALVAGE YARDS THAT THIS PART IS REGULARLY PURCHASED AS REPLACEMENT FOR MELTED CONNECTORS. JEEP TECHNICIANS CONFIRM THIS IS THE SAME PART ON ALL 1987-1996 JEEP CHEROKEES. I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION 2 CONNECTORS SHOWING FIRE/MELTING DAMAGE. THIS IS SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO IT.
