| Had my jeep for about 4 years now, and i've recently had many issues with it. for one, there's a recall, which parts are not available right now for an orc sensor. the recall letter said there may be a chance that it could cause an electrical distress on the computer. now, i don't know if these caused many electrical issues or not, but i'd like to see something done about it. around later november 2012 i took the jeep to get the ac/heater work because it wasn't working. paid $400.00, labor and parts. also got my signal lights fixed, because they weren't working either. few months pass, now its march 2013. the signal lights work when they want, even after getting it fixed. the right signal light works fine, the left works when it wants. my driver foglight went out. i dont have a bad bulb so what is it? few weeks later, driver headlight goes out. again, no blown bulb. few more weeks pass, and my ac/heater stopped working again. why? also, the driver tail light, at times goes out. no bad bulb. i feel as if i give it more time, the problem is just going to get worse. we need to look into this problem. | |||
