IT STARTED WITH THE LIGHTS TURNING OFF WHEN I HIT A BUMP. THE WHOLE JEEP WOULD GO DARK. INSTRUMENT PANEL, OVERHEAD LIGHTS, DRIVING LIGHTS, ALL OF THEM! THEN AFTER PARKING THE JEEP, DAY OR NIGHT, THE ALARM SYSTEM WOULD GO OFF ALL BY ITSELF. THE DOOR SWITCHES LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THEN THERE WAS THE RADIO THAT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF BY ITSELF. THEN THE WINDOWS DECIDED TO STOP GOING UP AND DOWN. WHEN I WOULD START THE JEEP THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WOULDN'T MOVE, TURN ON. SO, I WOULD TURN OFF THE JEEP AND RESTART IT. SOME OF THE GAUGES, WOULD TURN ON BUT OTHERS, WOULD NOT, LIKE THE FUEL TANK GAGE, SPEEDOMETER GAGE. DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, THERE WOULD BE A PUDDLE OF WATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. I STILL TO THIS DAY DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT TO...

#10515181 | June 5, 2013

A RECALL BASED ON 37 FATAL ACCIDENTS OVER THE COURSE OF 20 YEARS, INVOLVING MILLIONS OF CARS AND BILLIONS, POSSIBLY TRILLIONS, OF MILES DRIVEN IS ABSURD. IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT A PERSON WOULD BE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING THAN DYING IN A FIRE CAUSED BE A CAR CRASH. I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST TEN OTHER CARS WITH A SIMILAR INCIDENCE OF FIRE AND FATALITY AFTER A CRASH. *TR
