| Description of the problem | When driving my vehicle on the highway i noticed that all of the warning lights on my dashboard were flashing on and then off again, this happened numerous times. It stopped after a few minutes. My fuel, tachometer, speedometer, oil pressure gauges also went from the on to off positions. I notified my car dealership and brought the vehicle in for repair, the service manager said " they can't find the problem if it doesn't present itself " so i drove the vehicle back home. Weeks had passed and the same things happened again, all the warning lights came on then they went off numerous times, the gauges went on and off also. I called the dealership again, they told me take off any unnecessary items off the keyring this could be the problem. I told the dealership that " i don't have anything on my keyring" they told me they wouldn't be able to find the problem unless it presents itself. I spoke to a mechanic who has 30 yrs of experience in auto repairs and electrical troubleshooting. He told me it was probably the ignition cut-off switch or short in the wiring harness that was causing my problems. He told me to research it on the internet. I did and i found other jeep owners with the same issue and resolved it with a repair. My question is this. Why won't chrysler own up to this problem and fix it? |
