Problems with 2000 Jeep Wrangler EQUIPMENT

Mode selector for the hvac system has a major issue melting the selector, harness and control module. after researching this incident online and to my surprise there is no recall on this subject. heater not working, possible heater system catching on fire do hi voltage to the mode selector witch causes entire hvac failure and possible fire. jeep has known about this for a while but no one seems to be getting on them about it. again 2000 jeep wrangler heater control failure. *tr

Sitting at stop light, ac quit blowing, compressor still active. hvac motor switch is melted from overheating.(possible dash fire from this) confirmed by sight this was in fact the problem by my own eyes. found an article in jp magazine october 07 issue labeled "retard" to fix this problem for good no thanks to the dealer. *tr

On 12 march 2005, my wife was hit head-on while sitting in a turn lane in her 2000 jeep wrangler sahara edition. the air bags did not deploy, consequently, my wife went through the driver door window, suffering severe cuts and bruises, a broken neck, four broken ribs and a collasped left lung. since then i have been in contact with daimler-chrysler but cannot get them to commit to any wrong, although they keep telling me they have their inspectors looking at it.initially, i sent them photos of the vehicle and last week those they sent me were identical as those i sent them which all show the impact, yet, they have not told me what caused the air bags not to deploy. all those injuries suffered were a direct result of non-deployment of the air bags. the other cars air bags did deploy and he suffered no injuries whatsoever. i ask of you to please give me some information as a result of this accident. certainly, daimler-chrysler should cooperate but seem not to want to because of the cost of my wife's hospitalization and being air-lifted to the vanderbilt trauma center. thank you for anything you can provide me.

I have had this problem 3 times with my vehicle now. the vehicle was having heater problems on highest and second highest speeds. took the jeep to the dealership and paid deductable on the service contract in october 2002. dealer replaced the under dash harness, blower motor and the blower motor resistor. i continued to have problems and took it to my personal mechanic that discovered that the heater control module had failled as well. he replaced the heater control module and jeep worked fine for 1 year. the heater began to have the same problems again and my personal mechanic replaced the blower motor, blower motor resistor and the heater control unit as well as replacing a burnt wire. the heater again lasted just over a year before actually catching fire under the dash. the entire under dash harness, blower motor, blower motor resistor and heater control unit were again replaced. no additional problems within the past week after receiving the jeep from the shop.*ak

I purchase this 2000 jeep wrangler from a toyota dealership and paid the coverage warranty during the time of purchase. when i purchased this vehicle i noticed there was a weilding underneath the axle and told the salesman about it and he said not to worry about it, it won't cause any damage. four months later the axle broke on a freeway for no reason. we told the jeep dealership to fix the problem. they didn't even help us with the problem and quoting us 1,000 dollars to get it fixed from a jeep wrangler dearlership. this problem was already there when we purchased this vehicle. they should have fixed it before selling it to us. the warrenty we purchased did not cover the damage because it wasn't under warrenty. so,they can not fix the problem and need to tow it to a professional body lifting shop. we towed it there and it cost us 500.00 to fix the damage that was already there in the beginning when we purchased the vehicle.
