1997 Jeep Wrangler Sahara review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got my Jeep Wrangler in 97. I had no problems with it till 2000 - at the 12,000 mile mark my jeep began to have an electrical problem. The radio would sputter on and off. There after the dash began to be afflicted with the same problem. For example, sometimes the dash meter reading for oil would read zero then normal then zero.
My battery then was drained of current. Recharging the battery, I could not get my interior light to go off using the control switch. I took my Jeep to the dealer and I don't know how long it will take them to fix it, but as I can see here there are other postings with regard to the Jeep Wrangler electrical system. I wonder if there is a general recall on this problem?
