| First off, my airbag light would come on and then the gauges would shut down. i took the jeep in once, they said they didn't see any problems and couldn't fix it if they didn't see it. next, i was driving the jeep, had stopped to get gas, then started to drive and suddenly, the jeep no longer would move. there was a horrible smell, and i had to have the vehicle towed at 9 p.m, 6 hours from home. the vehicle is still in the shop, and i don't know when they'll be through with it!! | |||

| Whenever the fuel tank is filled it leaks down off the top of the tank onto the skid plate. with the muffler next to the gas tank this poses a serious fire hazard. the gauges work intermittently, includes: tach, speedometer, temp, oil pressure, fuel, and amp meter. when they stop working the airbag light comes on. also the cruise control willn't work. the odometer lights up but no mileage is registered. | |||

| I am in canada, however this information appilies to all wranglers and your reply by phone would be appreciated. the front seat belt, in its unused, resting state with no passengers, overlaps the dorr striker/ latch mechanism. if you close the door on the vehicle, you slam the seat belt in the mechanism and tear holes in the seat belt. it if the same for both of the front seat belts. i have informed the dealer, who has not yet replaced the seat belts, which are now torn, as they would get torn again the second you closed the door. this is a very very major safety defect, and it is amazing that it has acutally happened. please look into it.. i wanted to let you know because i think that the dealer will cover it up and people will definetly get hurt from this. i know that i'm in canada, but please call me anyways, collect if you have to. also, don't give my name to jeep... i don't want them to somehow blacklist me... just go and take a look at any new wrangler and you'll be surprised. thanks | |||
