Consumer Description
WAS DRIVING ONE NIGHT WITH 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SLEEPING IN THE BACK SEAT. THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY STARTED GOING OFF AND ON THEN OFF COMPLETELY, THEN WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF, THEN INTERIOR LIGHT AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS & LOCKS LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED THEN JEEP SUDDENLY DIED. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE ALMOST HOME SO MY HUSBAND COASTED IT INTO OUR DRIVEWAY THEN WE NOTICED WHAT SMELLED OF ELECTRICAL FIRE, I LOOKED AT THE HOOD AND COULD SEE A GLOW. MY HUSBAND PUT IT IN PARK AS I YELLED FOR MY DAUGHTER TO WAKE UP & GET OUT. MINE & MY HUSBANDS DOOR WERE UNLOCKED BUT THE BACK TWO DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK. I JUMPED BACK IN THE CAR (THE FIRE WAS ON MY SIDE ) TO GET MY PANICKING DAUGHTER OUT RIGHT AS THE BACK DOORS UNLOCKED AGAIN WHILE STILL GOING OFF AND ON, AND MY HUSBAND GOT THE FIRE PUT OUT AND BATTERY UNPLUGGED WHICH WAS BY THIS TIME ON FIRE ALONG WITH THE FUSE BOX.
