1998 Jeep Wrangler Air bags Problems

“Airbag light stays on while driving and the tachometer/ speedometer dropped to zero... All other gauges display properly and I had no power loss.....it was really tense because I did not know how fast I was going down the freeway.... I cannot get this repaired because there is not a code to check (check engine light does not come on) this has happen 5 times since october 2007.... After researching I found that I am not the only one having this problem.....”

“My gauges on the dashboard consistently go to 0 while driving my 1998 Jeep Wrangler. My speedometer,tachometer, battery status, oil, and engine temp all go to the left and the red airbag light comes on. This especially occurs while driving over bumps. It is a huge safety concern because I never know how fast I am going, when I need gas, or if my air bag will deploy in my face or if it will deploy in the event of an accident. There have been so many other reports concerning this same issue that it is incumbent on the government or Jeep/chrysler to rectify this situation!”

“Instrument cluster goes out - speedometer and tach, or all other gauges go out, airbag light comes on. Appears to be many documented cases of this same failure with the wiring harness/instrument cluster problem since 1998. Numerous service bulletins but no recalls! What can be done to prevent the problem and is there a recall for this?”

“Air bag light remained on while driving. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the problem was due to the wiring harness being too short.”

“Airbag light come on and speedo and tach stops working. Vehicle has not been in an accident and this is occuring on numerous jeeps of this year. Why has there not been a recall? If something isn't done about this I will be getting a lot of Jeep owners together and filing a class action lawsuit!! It is a serious safety problem. I just purchased the vehicle and after researching this its happening to the majority on this years wranglers”
