There was already a recall on the make and model of my car, Jeep Cherokee Latitude; however, when I search by VIN it shows zero unrepaired recalls. So if the problem is fixed (no one even attempted to fix my car), why does my car still shut off in the middle of driving? When it shuts off I can’t turn the wheel, Can’t put it in park, and the gas and brakes/ABS don’t work. This has happened many times with my daughter, currently 4yo, in the car; why do I have to risk my life every single time we need to go somewhere? Every single dealership and mechanic I’ve brought it to says there is nothing wrong with the car, yet it continues to shut off while driving… I did crash the first time it happened, but it was in a snow storm and possibly unrelated? No injuries or damage.

Issue: Burning smell in vehicle. Diagnosis: driver side visor wiring burned, potential fire hazard. Notes: We noticed a burning plastic smell several times in vehicle cabin. I searched around but couldn’t locate the smell. After the third time, the Homelink garage door opener located in the driver’s side sun visor stopped working. Also noted that the vanity mirror lights were not working either. This wiring is not on a fuse. I check the wiring to the visor with a voltmeter and noted 12 bolts to the visor. I removed the passenger visor and plugged it into the driver side. The vanity mirror lights had power and worked. Plugging the driver side visor into the passenger side showed it to not work. Therefore, the issue is the wiring burned inside the visor, breaking the connection. The visor is stitched all around and not easily accessible without cutting and thereby ruining the fabric and appearance of the visor. So wiring is not easily accessible without having to install a new liner.
