THIS ISSUE IS WELL-DOCUMENTED ONLINE. MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S STEERING COLUMN HORN CIRCUITRY FAILS IN THE ENGAGED POSITION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE'S HORN TO SOUND WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT CAN DISTRACT OTHER DRIVERS OR CAUSE THEM DRIVERS TO TAKE UNNECESSARY EVASIVE ACTION.
THIS IS WELL-DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET. THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL BLOWER MOTOR ON MY VEHICLE HAS OVERHEATED AND MELTED INTERNALLY, CAUSING AN INTERMITTENT CONNECTION AND PERIODIC SMOKE INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE MY BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS WITH A DIFFERENT SET OF PARTS THAT DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. THEIR OFFER WAS TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR AT MY COST. SEE: HTTP://WWW.SPARKYS-ANSWERS.COM/2011/02/2006-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-BLOWER-ONLY.HTML FOR VISUAL DETAILS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON ANOTHER VEHICLE OF THE SAME MODEL, BUT DIFFERENT MODEL YEAR. JEEP SHOULD REPLACE THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND PIGTAIL FREE OF CHARGE.
I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES SINCE DECEMBER 2015 TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF MY RECALL. THEY HAVE PUT ME ON A WAIT LIST WITH NO RETURN CALL AND NO SIGN OF THIS BEING COMPLETED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT AFTER THEY HAVE AVAILABILITY AND THEY TAKE MY VEHICLE IN, THEY WOULD STILL HAVE NO DATE WHICH THEY CAN TELL ME WHEN THE WORK WILL BE COMPLETED. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE LACK OF SAFETY CONCERN AND URGENCY TAKEN BY THIS DEALERSHIP TO REMEDY THE RECALL. COVERT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 8107 RESEARCH BLVD (512) 730-3300

EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF SPERATICALLY. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, STOPPED AND EVEN WHEN PARKED. I HAVE TO TOGGLE THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF TO TRY AND STOP THE FLICKER OR EVEN TO GET THE LIGHTS TO COME BACK ON BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS STAY OFF EVEN WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I'M SURE IT IRRITATES THE HECK OUT OF ANYONE WHO SEE'S MY LIGHTS FLICKERING. THEY THINK I'M SIGNALING THEM FOR SOME REASON. REALLY NEED A FIX FOR THIS ASAP. HOPE DAIMLER/CHRSLER ISN'T WAITING FOR DEATH/ACCIDENT TOLL BEFORE THEY FIX THIS ISSUE.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
