| I have a 2005 jeep wrangler. i am the original owner and it is the original windshield. on december 13, 2007 the windshield cracked while i was driving. there were two cracks (possibly initiated from one point below the molding). the cracks started on the bottom just off center and went up about two inches and then curved 90 degrees and went horizontally across the windshield. the jeep warranty book says it covers defects in the glass for one year or 12,000 miles. since my jeep was past this point my insurance covered it. they had safelite autoglass put in a new windshield on december 27, 2007. six days later | |||

| Rear plastic window cracked in cold weather. told by dealer that this is a common problem and plastic windows cannot be touched in cold weather. nothing in the owner's manual states this policy. dealer advised not to remove snow/ice, brush window, touch window, or contact window with water in cold weather. dealer employee stated that they will not touch a plastic window unless they warm the plastic up first. jeep will not replace under warranty, stating environmental factors. possible safety hazard in not being able to wash vehicle in cold weather or remove snow/ice. this leaves no visibility out of rear window. *nm | |||

| Wiring overheating and melting blower motor fan switch at 36,500 miles. wiring overheating and melting multifunction switch for turn signals, headlamps, hazards, etc... at 37,800 miles. unknown cause for either failure. replaced blower motor control switch assembly after failure myself as it was only $25 usd and 10 minutes time. now the multifunction switch is doing the same - melting and causing headlamps to fail. is there a voltage control problem with the electrical systems to cause these failures? will the replaced parts fail again? will a fire result the next time? *tr updated 02-01-08 *bf updated 02/01/08 *tr | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated there is a problem with the gears which occurs at various speeds. while the shifter was in four-wheel drive it slipped to neutral. there was a whirling noise present when the shifter was in reverse and a grinding noise coming from the other gears. upon inspecting the vehicle the dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. the vehicle was inspected a second time. the dealer tightened the gear leakages and determined the tab on the fan blower had broken and was causing the whirling noise. the blower fan is going to be replaced. | |||
