AS PER SERVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS ALREADY SUBMITTED, MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER WAS PURCHASED EARLY IN 2000 WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL OTHER GAUGES STOP WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY DID A REPAIR ON THE PART AND IT WORKED OKAY FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND SINCE THEN, 20,000 + MILES LATER IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN. I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. IT STILL OCCURS ERRATICALLY, BUT ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS OVER 1 YEAR AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE.*AK
