Stock 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon ~25,000 miles while driving ~ 25MPH on a city street, brakes failed and I drove through a stop sign - I noticed smoke coming from the dash and attempted to pull the vehicle to the side of the road. Before I could, the power steering failed and I noticed flames from the drivers side window. I jumped from the jeep. Fire services were on scene w/i 2 minutes and jeep was completely engulfed in flames (around engine compartment) w/i 30 seconds.
2010 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited: roughly 10 months into owning my new jeep I noticed the brakes were squealing. This was not noticeable with the top on and music playing so I'm not sure how long they had been making the noise. I asked my husband to take a look and he said he couldn't replicate the squealing. We found it did not always make the noise when I braked. I took my jeep to the dealership for a recall and mentioned the squealing.
