What owners wrote

I was driving to work on 10-5-15 when a drunk driver pulled out in front of me, I had no time to stop but when my 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited hit their vehicle, I immediately smelled and saw smoke comming from the engine compartment of my jeep. I drove to the side of the road where I quickly got out and made it just in time because the vehicle quickly burst into flames. My airbags also did not deploy which I thought odd because I was traveling around 45 MPH at the time of the accident.

Reported at 69,000 miles, October 2015 CrashFireInjury

Engine started making a rattling noise at 54,200 miles. No engine lights or oil pressure indicators. Brought in to have checked & found to have no engine oil, low engine coolant. There was enough damage done to the engine that I'm having to have an entire new engine installed as it was more cost effective than replacing the individual parts. The dealership received a new engine & installed. This one was deffective & had to wait for another one to be received & installed. Thanks,
