Fog light switch. went to the dealer to get another switch , i was told that the switch # had been changed and the it is $186.00 which includes wiring" i asked if the wiring is recalled he said " no" so i bought the switch for $45.00 and it seems to work. i was wondering if dodge knows that the wiring is bad? i have seen a jeep in the junk yard that has a dash fire starting in that area? your help is required for our safety & peace of mind! *tr

Fuel gauge reads empty when tank is full, dealer cannot find problem. will drive for about 30 miles and then fuel tank will read what it is supposed to. also terrible shaking in front end when braking. brakes/rotors all new and replaced still shakes. fog lamps continuously burn out, dealer states wiring harness. have had to pay the deductible on this numerous times... like it is my fault they burn out. *la

When we use our turn signals, the emergency flashers come on. the first time we took it in, the dealership found no problem. then they changed a part which did not solve the problem. they claimed it was an " intermittent" problem and we had no recourse but to bring the vehicle in every time the part malfunctioned. last night i was driving with three children in my vehicle on a two lane road in a rural area. as i prepared to turn left by turning on my turn signal i noticed a vehicle behind me travelling at about 50 mph. when i slowed to turn, the vehicle passed me on the left. had i not been aware of this problem, there would have been a terrible accident. is my jeep the only one that has this problem. i gave up on trying to have it fixed two years ago because i couldn't take my vehicle in to have it serviced every single day! i have not talked to the manufacturer and i don't know if the dealership did. i would hope that they let jeep know that there is a problem. my contact at the dealership is named angela. she was sympathetic but did nothing to solve my problem.*ak
