Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON BUT WENT OFF. I WAS ON A NARROW ROAD AND WAS ABOUT TO PULL OFF THEN LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH AND THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT WORK I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. THEN I TRIED TO GET OUT AND THE DOORS ALL LOCKED ON ME.I GOT OUT AND NOTICED WHAT I FIRST THOUGHT WAS A BOILING RADIATOR BUT WHEN I WENT TO LIFT THE BONNET THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE. IT WAS GONE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. JEEP AUSTRALIA DENIED ANY CARS HAD CAUGHT FIRE HERE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO HAVE FORENSICS INVESTIGATE. AT 35,000 THE CLUTCH ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED WHICH JEEP ALSO SAID WAS BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 17 YEARS. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER CARS HERE IN AUSTRALIA WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD
