The driver side seat heater gets so hot or feels like it's burning my legs.. i can only use it on low to prevent burns.. the passenger side does not work at all. (recall #09v117000) if the passenger side door is open, i cannot lock the doors, or put the windows up until it is shut. (recall #01v288000) .. periodically when i start the jeep the air bag light will stay on.. i have to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and repeat the process until it goes back off. (recall #12v527000)
Ignition switch sticks and hard to turn, also have shut off while driving. starter keeps turning.
I reported this problem a month or so ago about the front driver's seat breaking and breaking off the vehicle frame. plus the a/c issue under the glove compartment overheats and melts the mechanism and continues to burn. when i reported the issue, no wreck was involved. since reporting the problem, the vehicle was involved in an accident and totaled. my fix apparently allowed the seat to stay on the frame but the seat still broke. fortunately, no serious injury, only sore neck and bump to the hand.
Wires get hot that lead to the heater/ac fan. the insulation of wire and connector melts. this causes the heater to go off and back on intermittently and frequently unless you wiggle the wires. wiggling the connector will help for short periods of time. this occurs when the car is running(does not have to be moving) and the blower is on. i have tried to press in the connector or wiggle the connector while driving and this is a distraction. this has happened consistently beginning about a month after i bought the car. the location of the connector is under the glove box area. there are many instances on the internet that discuss this issue.
