About every year the taillight/brake light sockets corrode and the lights quit functioning. Cleaning them solves the problem. We live in phoenix area and so moisture is not a factor.

I own a Jeep Grand Cherokee VIN # [xxx] milage 57000 mile the heater went out I was told that it was a wiring harnesss the cost was over $500 they told me at the dealer that they have seen this many times. I asked if there was a recall on this they said not at this time. This is a safety hazard it left me with no defrosters. I also have a concern that it could be a fire hazard if infact the wireing harness was burned up! updated 07/26/2012 information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
