“My 2009 Jeep wrangler 4 door caught fire when my wife was driving my children to school. It had 6,000 miles on it. The Jeep was deemed a total loss by safety insurance. The vehicle had not been touched since leaving the dealership. We contacted the dealer who has been very helpful but forwarded us to the manufacturer . We have been getting the company policies and procedures run around.
