NHTSA Complaint #10429042 — 2010 JEEP WRANGLER

OUR DAUGHTER'S 2010 JEEP WRANGLER CAUGHT ON FIRE JUST AS SHE HAD PARKED IT IN HER UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE. SHE WAS SITTING IN THE CAR, LISTENING TO THE END OF A SONG, WHEN SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THEN IS BURST INTO FLAMES. SHE JUMPED OUT AND RAN OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THEN CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND US. SHE HAD ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER THREE MONTHS AND BOUGHT IT FROM HAMPTON IMPORTS NEAR DESTIN, FLORIDA. STATE FARM INVESTIGATED, AS WELL AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. NEITHER COULD FIND A CAUSE. I CALLED CHRYSLER, BECAUSE I HAD READ THAT CHINA WAS NO LONGER ALLOWING THE WRANGLER IN THEIR COUNTRY DUE TO FIRE CONCERNS. THEY DID INVESTIGATE AND FOUND NO CAUSE. I WROTE A FOLLOW-UP LETTER TO THE CHRYSLER DIRECTOR OF CUSTOMER RELATIONS, ASKING IF THEY WERE INVESTIGATING THE SAFETY OF ALL OF THEIR JEEP WRANGLERS AND THEY NEVER REPLIED TO THE LETTER. *TR
