| A/c-heater fan control switch burns out every 2 to 4 years. i am the original owner of a 99 jeep tj wrangler. i have replaced the fan control switch 4 times now. each time the pigtail has fried as well and needed replacing. first time dealer replaced under warranty. second, third and fourth time i paid to have it replaced. after 3rd time i wrote to chrysler and explained and showed all dealer repair paper work and they reimbursed with check for one repair. dealer gave me a credit on an additional repair. this last (4th) repair i found out that chrysler knows about the issue, and has reduced the price of the replacement part by half. i was told to expect this to be a normal repair every 2 to 4 years for as long as i have the vehicle. i was told for a few model years they have constant power to the fan and this eventually leads to a burn out. sometimes causing more damage if the flareup is big. chrysler won't do any more reimb. and no plans to fix model years affected. bummer!! repair dates: 7/2000; 8/2002; 9/2004;8/2008 part number: 55037473ab. *tr | |||

| 1999 jeep wrangler with ground wire problems **answered by ric willard** cc the recall was 99v117000. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall. after the repairs the problem persisted. the consumer reached behind the cluster and when he pushed on one of the plugs they moved about an eighth of an inch. the consumer then heard the latched snap into position and he hasn't had a problem since. the heater also had a problem that the consumer thought would be corrected by recall but was not. the system changes the location of the air flow on it's own. *nm | |||

| Problems with back and door latches breaking and jamming making it impossible to open the doors. also, flimsy plastic sleeves that connect the a/c/fan/temperature knobs to the control panel break easily making it impossible to use the defroster and panel fans, heater, and a/c.*ak | |||

| Through research it was brought to my attention that a bad paint job can cause the windshield to fall out of its frame. chrysler recently painted my car under warranty but did a horrible job. the following website suggested reporting this problem to this organization: https://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/oscripts/ivoq/voq/voq6.cfm i would also like to add that chrysler left both the windshield and drivers side mirror on my car damaged. | |||
