What owners wrote
Jeep in question, hit black ice and flipped over guardrail .neither of airbags deployed, front bumper tore off. Jeep was turned off at completion of rollover, and still broke into flames.
I purchased this vehicle and noticed the fuel gauge was fluctuating excessively so I check if there were any recalls for this vehicle . When entering vehicles VIN # it states 0 opened recalls for this vehicle, not sure if it was previously repaired. Please help me resolve this issue. Electrical issues were with rear drivers side window constantly gows down on its on every time I started the ignition. Please help. Thank you
