ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OVER HEATING OF A/C - HEATER CONTROL SWITCH WHILE IN USE CAUSED THE SWITCH CONNECTOR, SWITCH AND PART OF THE HVAC CONTROL PANEL TO MELT. ON THE VERGE OF FIRE THE FAN STOPPED FUNCTIONING. RETRIEVED THE SAME UNIT OFF A DONER VEHICLE [1J4FA59S3YP733181] AND FOUND THE CONTROL TO BE MELTED/BURNT IN THE SAME FASHION. WHEN I LOOKED FOR A REPLACEMENT, THE PARTS SUPPLIERS OFFERED A READY-MADE REPLACEMENT WIRE HARNESS [POTENTIAL CLUE OF COMMON FAILURE]. THE MOPAR REPLACEMENT PART IS LISTED AS DISCONTINUED. I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS OF THE ISSUES DESCRIBED, BUT WILL HAVE TO GET THEM DEVELOPED AND DIGITIZED [MY DIGITAL CAMERA WON'T TAKE CLOSE-UP PICS].

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I GOT MY 2000 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA FROM PARENTS THEY BOUGHT IT NEW FROM DEALERSHIP. WHEN IT HIT ABOUT 150,000 MILES WHEN IN MOTION NO MATER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN IT, IT ACTS LIKE YOU HAVE RUN OUT . IT CUTS OUT, SLOWS DOWN, AND SOMETIMES WILL BACKFIRE THEN WILL GO AGAIN. SOMETIMES IF YOU TURN OFF THE KEY AND START IT AGAIN IT STOPS DOING IT,OTHER TIMES IT ONLY HELPS FOR A MILE THEN CUTS OUT AGAIN.I NOW HAVE 210,000 MILES ON IT, AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL DO IT. I AM AT A LOSS CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.I KNOW THE JEEP IS 16 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A NUMBER OF PARTS ON IT AND THAT'S FINE I UNDERSTAND THAT'S NORMAL. I JUST CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE CUTTING OUT PART. ALSO WHEN ADDING GAS IT KICKS OFF THE PUMP LIKE IT FULL EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT (EVERY 4 TO 7 CENTS) SOMETIMES SPLASHING GAS BACK ON ME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 5 YEARS NOW.

THE RIGHT REAR LOWER TRAILING (CONTROL) ARM DETACHED OR BROKE OFF THE FRAME WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP ON A FAIRLY BUSY ROAD AT 50 MPH. ON INSPECTION FOUND THE ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRAME IS ROTTED AND THIN IN SEVERAL KEY AREAS OF THE FRAME. IN THE SHOP NOW. JEEP HAS 150,000 ON IT. LEFT SIDE OF THE FRAME IS BETTER. EXPECTED MORE FROM JEEP, THIS PUT US IN A HUGE AMOUNT OF DANGER AND WE ARE LUCKY WE DIDN'T WRECK OR WORSE, FLIP THE JEEP. I SEE ONE COMPLAINT AFTER THE OTHER WITH THE SAME DAMAGE. THANKS JEEP AND CHRYSLER FOR THAT. WE WERE DOING 50 IN A SLIGHT LEFT HAND CURVE, THINK ABOUT IT. INSPECT YOUR FRAMES.
