THE DASH GAUGES ON MY 99 JEEP WRANGLER CEASED TO FUNCTION AND I FOUND THE NHTSA WEB SITE HAD A RECALL (NO 99V117000) WHICH DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM. I WENT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER (ANCIRA WINTON JEEP - HWY 281, SA, TX) AND THEY RAN MY JEEP WRANGLER MODEL ON THEIR WEB SITE AND GAVE ME A PRINTOUT WHICH STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL INFORMATION FOR MY VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM CHRYSLER. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE ASSIGNED THE CASE NO 16611542 FOR MY INQUIRY. THE NHTSA RECALL DOCUMENTS OUTLINE THE PROBLEM CLEARLY AND CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE ITEM. MY VIN (XP423303) FALLS WITHIN THE RANGE OF IDENTIFIED VEHICLES (XP401783-XP432081), BUT MY GREATER CONCERN IS THAT CHRYSLER-JEEP DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS RECALL ITEM IN THEIR OPERATIONS. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE OR REFERRAL IN RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM - THANKS! IN ADVANCE MIKE BUONAUGURIO, LT COL, USAF. *TR

BEGINNING IN 4-99, WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS THINGS GO WRONG WITH OUR NEW VEHICLE. FIRST THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON, AC/HEATER QUIT/ MANFOLD/EXHAUST LEAK/ NOW ALL THE GAUGES HAVE GONE CRAZY ON THE DASH & I JUST GOT IT OUT OF THE SHOP ON 1/17/2000, FOR THE VERY SAME THING.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THE LEFT SIDE AND RIGHT SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRING GROUND ATTACHMENT SCREWS COULD LOOSEN OVER TIME.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE LEFT SIDE SCREW LOOSENS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES MAY NOT FUNCTION WHEN THE HEADLAMPS ARE TURNED ON. IF THE RIGHT SIDE SCREW LOOSENS, THE DEFROSTER BLOWER MOTOR MAY NOT FUNCTION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE GROUND SCREWS, DRILL A NEW PILOT HOLE ADJACENT TO THE ORIGINAL HOLE, AND THE SCREWS WILL BE REINSTALLED IN THE NEW HOLES.
