Consumer Description
OVER SEVERAL WEEKS I HAD BEEN SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING UPON EXITING MY PATRIOT. FINALLY I NOTICED MY REAR BUMPER WAS MISSHAPEN. IT WAS MELTING! MY LOCAL CAR SERVICE SHOP TOOK A LOOK AND FIGURED OUT MY EXHAUST PIPE HAD MOVED AND LODGED INTO MY BUMPER. ALL THE HEAT MELTED THE BUMPER. I'M HONESTLY SURPRISED THERE WASN'T A FIRE STARTED. THE MAN WHO LOOKED AT MY PATRIOT TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEPS. *TR
