What owners wrote
Using my 2011 jeep wrangler (right hand drive), I deliver mail for the u.s. Postal service. Was delivering mail on my rural route. Date was 4th of feb.2014. The problem was a fire in the engine compartment. Causing damage to the wiring harness , many other wires, compartment plastics ,and gas line. The cause appears to be hot oil from the transmission dipping onto the engine and transmission . I only see that the fill tube on the transmission was the leak.
