Consumer Description

I SEEN ON THE INTERNET THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP MAKE AND MODEL FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEMS...I JUST HAD TO SPEND A LITTLE OVER $4,000 IN REPAIRS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. WHEN I GOT IT TO MY INSURANCE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT WOULDN'T START. WHEN I TOOK TO GARAGE THEY FOUND THAT BOTH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD DISINTEGRATED FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH AMONG OTHER THINGS. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET COMPENSATED? I HAVE HAD IT BACK FROM GARAGE FOR FEW WEEKS AND NOW AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT STARTING.
