FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY JEEP WAS NOT MADE ON THE RIGHT DATE UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GAGE/SENDING UNIT FOR THE LAST (ALMOST) THREE YEARS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY JEEP IS NOT COVERED WHEN SO MANY MORE ARE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY GAGE SOMETIMES DOES NOT SHOW EMPTY WHEN IT IS AND SOMETIMES SHOWES EMPTY 100 MILES INTO THE FULL TANK. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND SOME OF THEM HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. YET, THE DEALERSHIPS SAY EVEN THOUGH SOME JEEPS ARE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL OTHERS ARE NOT. CRAZY!

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
GEN3 SEATBELTS IN MY 1998 JEEP WRANGLER DO NOT RETRACT PROPERLY. EITHER THEY DON'T RETRACT ENOUGH, CAUSING THEM TO BE CAUGHT IN THE DOOR (THUS FRAYING THE BELT), OR THEY RETRACT TOO MUCH AND WON'T RELEASE, PREVENTING ME FROM USING THE BELT. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH I HAVE NOTICED FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
SEATBELT LATCH AND RETRACTOR MY SEATBELT LATCH DOES NOT STAY FASTENED. IT WILL RELEASE AT ANY TIME EVEN IF I AM NOT MOVING. THE SEATBELT RETRACTOR WILL ALSO LOCK WHEN THE BELT IS FULLY RETRACTED AND CAN REMAIN THIS WAY FOR DAYS. SOMETIMES I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITH NO SEATBELT! THE RETRACTOR WILL ALSO LOCK WHEN THE BELT IS WITHDRAWN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BELT HAS TO BE MANUALLY FED INTO THE BELT RETRACTOR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY PROBLEM AND THEY JUST TELL ME THAT I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW BELT. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
WIRING HARNESS FOR DASH, BOTH HAZARD-BLINKER-HEADLIGHTS, BURNING PLASTIC SMELL, COULD NOT LOCATE, ENDED WITH SMOKE ROLLING OUT OF STEERING COLUMN WHEN WHEN WE STARTED THE ENGINE, LUCKILY, WE PULLED THE FUSE THAT POWERED IT OUT OF FUSE BOX TO ENABLE US TO RETURN HOME--70 MILES AWAY, WITH NO LIGHTS, BLINKERS, ETC. CALLED DEALER, WANTED $400.00+ TO LOOK AT IT, AND ASKED ABOUT THE ERRATIC DASH ODOMETER ACTIVITY. WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD HAVE DAMAGED THE COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN DASH HAD WE NOT REMOVED THE POWER TO THE HARNESS. MELTED HARNESS NEARLY COMPLETELY. ERRATIC GAUGE OPERATION STILL A PROBLEM, IF YOU HIT A BUMP THEY COME BACK ON. THEY STILL WANT 400+ DOLLARS TO LOOK AT IT AT THE DEALER. THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MANY PROBLEMS (CONVERTER REPLACED BY DEALER 2 TIMES ALREADY IN 1 AND HALF YEAR, BRAKES DON'T ENGAGE PROPERLY-HAD BRAKE LINES CHECKED REPEATEDLY, ETC). TS
