Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My son was driving his Jeep back to university when gauges started to flicker then go out. He then saw smoke from engine compartment and pulled to side of road. Looking under Jeep around motor area he saw flames and backed away from vehicle. The fire spread quickly and engulfed the vehicle completely and it is a total loss. The Jeep had no major issues, just something electrical happened and it was over in about 30 minutes.”
