NHTSA Complaint #751125 — 1998 JEEP WRANGLER

AS I HAVE READ MENTIONED BY OTHERS AT THIS WEBSITE, ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT THE JEEP, MY DASH GAUGES WOULD GO DOWN TO ZERO AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON. THIS PROBLEM IS A WINTER AND WET-WHETHER RELATED PROBLEM. IF I POUND ON THE DASHBOARD WITH MY FIST, SOMETIMES THE GAUGES WILL RECOVER TEMPORARILY. IF THEY DO RECOVER, THEY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY GO BACK DOWN TO ZERO. I SPOKE WITH A DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY ACTED SURPRISED. I SEE FROM OTHER PEOPLES COMMENTS THAT THEIR ARE NUMEROUS OTHER OCCASIONS OF THIS PROBLEM. I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL EARLIER TODAY WHEN A MECHANIC FRIEND OF A FRIEND MENTIONED SOMEONE ELSE WITH THE 1998 JEEP WRANGLER HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I NEED A RESPONSE FROM THE GOVERNMENT. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS? I HAVE ALSO HAD MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER "CRUMBLE TO PIECES" ACCORDING TO A LOCAL GARAGE. HE SEEMD TO THINK THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. I AM AT A LOSS AS TO HOW TO FIND OUT IF THERE INDEED HAS BEEN A RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME.*AK
