What owners wrote

The floor was so rusted, which was not visible until th fire broke out. I had replaced the converter and muffler from midas, and on the way back the car caught on fire. After the vehicle was totalled, there seemed to be rusted floor with holes.. I am just complaining so that others could be aware of this. Especially when the vehicle is less than ten years old.

Fire

When jeep gets to running temperature (5-10 minutes) it will back and stall when you go to take off from a stop. Very dangerous when merging with traffic or at busy intersection. Had been in shop for 10 weeks, replaced computer, tried many sensor replacements to no avail, mechanic gave up, now at dealership where they can find nothing wrong (no computer code stored) when it is just running.they have not driven it on the road for fear of breaking down in traffic.
