Description of the problem	As i have read mentioned by others at this website, about a year after i bought the jeep, my dash gauges would go down to zero and the airbag light would go on. This problem is a winter and wet-whether related problem. If i pound on the dashboard with my fist, sometimes the gauges will recover temporarily. If they do recover, they almost immediately go back down to zero. I spoke with a dealership about the problem. They acted surprised. I see from other peoples comments that their are numerous other occasions of this problem. I thought i was alone with this problem until earlier today when a mechanic friend of a friend mentioned someone else with the 1998 jeep wrangler has the exact same problem. I need a response from the government. Has there been a recall issued on this? I have also had my catalytic converter "crumble to pieces" according to a local garage. He seemd to think that there was a recall on the catalytic converters. I am at a loss as to how to find out if there indeed has been a recall. Please contact me.*ak
