ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
ON 9/30/03 WIRING TERMINATIONS AT IGNITION SWITCH IN STEERING COLUMN FAILED. EVIDENCE OF PREVIOUS ARCING AND DEFORMATION OF WIRING, CONNECTOR, AND PLASTIC COVER OVER STEERING COLUMN WERE PRESENT. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING AS THEY HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE AND HAVE PRESCRIBED A FIX FOR THE SITUATION THAT DEVIATES FROM REPLACING THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEY THERE MUST BE QUITE A FEW CHEROKEES THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I MY SELF HAVE NOTICED QUITE A FEW BURNT UP INTERIORS AT LOCAL SALVAGE YARDS WHERE I DO BUSINESS MY SELF. IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOME ONE DIES IN A FIRE CAUSED BY ELECTIRAL WIRING INSIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN SHOULD BE GIVEN. I HAVE CONTACED DCX AND THEY GAVE ME CLAIM NUMNBER 11700403 FOR MY COMPLAINT WITHIN THERE ORGANIZATION

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I WAS READING CODE 30126, USED MOTOR VEHICLES. IT IS NOT SPECIFIC ABOUT WHICH SAFETY HAZARDS ARE ENFORCED BY THE LAW. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT GIVES A DEALER A RIGHT TO SELL A USED VEHICLE WHICH HAS A BENT AND CRACKED FRAME AND A CLEAN TITLE. NO "AS IS " SALE SHOULD BE A JUSTIFICATION FOR LACK OF SAFETY REGARDING HUMAN LIFE. HE WILL NOT REFUND MY MONEY. IS THIS LEGAL? WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU. *JB
