Consumer Description
2015 WRANGLER SAHARA ENGINE FIRE I HAVE JUST PURCHASED 10 DAYS AGO A CERTIFIED 2015 WRANGLER SAHARA CERTIFIED PRE OWNED FROM AVONDALE DODGE IN PHOENIX AZ. IT WAS A GORGEOUS HARDTOP GREY, WITH 30" TIRES, MAGS AND AN LED LIGHT BAR. I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR 3 MONTHS AND FINALLY FOUND MY DREAM WRANGLER. STILL WITH A TEMP PLATE AND ONE TANK OF GAS IN IT THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE SITTING IDLE AT MY WORK. I HAD LITERALLY DROVE FROM THE DEALER HOW IT HAPPENED. I HAD GONE FOR LUNCH WITH CO WORKERS AND PARKED IN COVERED PARKING AT MY OFFICE IN PHOENIX. THERE WAS NO FOUL SMELLS AND THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE WAS NORMAL. I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE FACILITIES MANAGERS 2 HOURS LATER WHILE IN A MEETING THAT FELLOW EMPLOYEES SAW IT SMOLDERING THROUGH THE GRILL AND PHONED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. WHEN I GOT OUTSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS COMPLETELY CHARRED. *BF *JS
