| Very hot day in southern california. driving north of i-15 freeway. for the first time since i owned the car (original owner) i placed the a/c blower control swith in position 4 (max position). after a few seconds smoke began to billow out of the opening of the blower control knob. once noticed, it got progressively worse to the point that i had to turn off the a/c and navigate four full speed lanes of traffic to pull over in case of fire spread. once safely on shoulder, turned car off, evacuated car and waited until smoke cleared. once clear, restarted car and after minutes of no issues with a/c off, proceeded home. once home did a little research on internet to find out that many chrysler / jeep owners have had this issue. seemed to indicate that many had a similar issue. the following morning i pulled my car into the street and started the car and tested the blower switch based on what i had read the night before. much to my surprise, the switch worked in all positions except position 4 which now had apparently burned out - without ever causing the fuse to blow. my dashboard smoked, causing a serious and immediate high speed driving hazard, coupled with the potential for a vehicle fire, and the fuse had never blown. as of this writing, the switch has still not been replaced, since after three attempts to have jeep look at the problem without charging me for the diagnostics, they refused. i am hesitant to have the panel/switch fixed until i have some assurance that this could not happen again, since it is highly unusual to have this type of failure occur without the key safety component (fuse) not working properly. please consider a thorough investigation before there is loss of life/property due to a flawed circuit design. | |||

| The vehicle was hit on left front door and front quarter panel propelling it into a parking lot over a curb. the left front tire blew upon impact. the vehicle was repaired by a chrysler/jeep dealership. after the vehicle was fixed several people got sick in the car or just after exiting the car. this lasted for six thousand miles over three months period of time. i purchased a carbon monoxide tester because how many people got sick. it went off on the third day of it being in the vehicle. another chrysler dealership inspected the vehicle and found an exhaust leak that was over looked by the first dealership when they repaired the vehicle after the accident. the insurance company came and re-inspected the car and paid for the overlooked exhaust leak damage. the insurance company estimator said the front left door was not closing properly and needed adjusting. the left door along with both upper and lower hinges were replaced right after the accident. the first dealership that originally repaired the car after the accident then inspected the vehicle and found the door needed more than adjusting. they had to replace the driver lower hinge as they said it was a defective. they said it was covered under the warranty. the door was making popping sounds. the whole door would drop down upon opening it. the defective hinge tweaked the door so that at the bottom of the door there was a gap. the rubber weather seal also came loose as well after the accident. the weather strip clips would not hold it around the door properly. at the top of the door with the defective hinge it looked as though it was closed. the bottom of the door was not closed all the way. i believe this gap at the bottom of the door was the entry point for the carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle causing multiple persons to become ill that were not in the vehicle when the accident took place. *tr | |||
