“I parked my 1994 Jeep Wrangler outside my workplace at 6am the morning of 4/4/12... At 11am I finished for the day, left my Jeep where it was, and went for a run around where I work. At 11:27am my office manager called my cellphone and begged me to come back right away your Jeep is on fire!!! Oh my god, it's gone!!! Now the woods are on fire!!! . I ran back to find 3 fire trucks, my Jeep nothing but a charred shell still on fire. …”
NHTSA complaint #10454600, filed 2012-04, 130,000 miles“I have put 2 starters on this Jeep in the 2 years that I've owned it and the lady that owned it before me said she put 2 or 3 on it. Please check into this for me and let me know if it's just my Jeep. I found a technical service bulletin about starters but I'm not sure if it's the right thing or not. Thanks.”
