What owners wrote
The recent recall by jeep on the 2010 wranglers does not fit the situations that have been occurring. Several owners have experienced spontaneous fires, and were not in any off-road situation that could have cause debris to collect on or near the catalytic converter. They were simply driving home from work, or on the highway. One owner, who contacted me, had 16 miles on it (2012 model), and had just picked it up from the dealership. It caught on fire on his way home.
When pumping gas the gas does not click off and gas spits out all over me and the jeep. I just purchased this used from a ford dealer. I had this same problem with my dodge durango that had a recall by chrysler. I checked and there is no recall on the 2010 jeep wrangler but have researched and it seems to be a common problem with jeeps. There should be a recall on them before someone gets hurt. I filled up at different gas stations.
