2006 Jeep COMMANDER Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	A/c blower only works on high, not any other setting. I've replaced the blower motor resistor on average of 3x per year (@ $32 from dealer). This is what i've been told by auto mechanics and the chrysler dealer service dept. Is wrong with the a/c system.... And that "it's a common problem." when the resistor is replaced, the a/c will work properly for a short period of time and then repeat the problem. Obviously, there is something causing this part to short/malfunction. After researching this topic (online/internet), i've found many jeep owners have encountered the exact same problem. The problem is not the blower motor resistor, it is the guage of wiring chrysler has used to install the system. The wiring can not handle the amps running through it, and the connection/wiring actually melts. This is the case with my vehicle, the connection at the blower resistor is melted. The system has a 40amp fuse, which does not blow before the wiring melts???..... This is a fire hazard. Chrysler should have done a recall on this. I've opened a case with chrysler, and so far have gotten nowhere with them..... They just want me to take vehicle into dealer so they can charge me there outrageous rates for looking at the problem, then (according to the discussion threads online) they'll suggest i replace the whole blower unit/system for about $800. The only problem is the guage of the wiring is to small for the amps running the system, and the wiring needs to be replaced. I've heard there is a replacement wiring harness available, but when i asked chrysler about this part they claimed to know nothing about it.
