Sounds like a faulty contact in the rotary control. Only guessing so please let us know what they find.
Yep my power steering is playing up too. Also got a reccuring performance/gear shift problem.
What is it with these cars. I've had more problems with mine in 8 months than my last 3 cars & getting a bit frustrated with effective repair attempts.
Cheers

My gearbox is different to yours as mine is the merc 5speeder - so hopefully I wont have any shift problems.
I suspect I'll have same steering box as you blokes so that's not encouraging.
Nah dont panic. I'm just a grumpy & fussy ole bugga. If it aint broke dont fix it.
Although the list is growing.
1 fuel pump repair & 1 new fuel pump. (started to play up at Birdsville)
Front driveshaft replacement to cure front diff whine/growl.
Charcoal canister in unsuccesful attempt to cure stalling, hunting idle, hi fuel consumption & poor performance. (approx $150 extra fuel on Vic trip after the so-called fix)
Steering column groan since new.
Steering pump now very noisy under light/medium load.
New front pads & rotors fixed brake shudder.
Told theres nothing wrong with a car that veers left & that my lhf tyre had 18 psi less pressure than the rhf although I checked them 2 days before. (yes jeep do make offset balljoints to cure this problem)
1 remote transponder has become very inefficient but apparently tests OK.
Despite this the ACJ folks have been very helpful & pleasant. Its just a pain when you are a mechanic but have to let someone else fix your wty problems with 4 hours out of your day to drop off & pick up each time.
Cant explain why but I still love the car. "Must be a Jeep thing"

a/c works on "defrost" even when the a/c switch is TURNED OFF!!!!!
this is the first car I've had with this feature - whence I didn't even notice (or think to look) that the a/c switch on the dash board was turned off.
The system is working perfectly.
I can't remember ever picking up a car, and bothering to wait around for the dealer to go through all the switches and trinkets. I say to them "don't worry mate.... I'll figure it all out. Can't be too hard."
hehe... the number of times I've stopped the car somewhere and the bloody central locking won't open the doors for me because I've forgotten to turn the widget to the left and push button "Y" four times before I got out.
LOL!!
