What owners wrote
I started my jeep this morning in my driveway with the factory remote start, 10 min later I walked out of my house and saw flames and smoke coming from my drivers side door. A car driving by had stopped and called 911. Another neighbor ran over with a fire extinguisher and we were able to get the fire in control before the fire department got there. The driver side door is completely destroyed and melted, the window is gone. The roof, seat and surrounding area are also damaged.
We bought two 2011 jeep wranglers in july 2011. Starting in sept. We noticed when it rains the passenger side floor and seat would get completely soaked, took it to dealer and they said it was fixed. Now every time it rains both of them leak on passenger side. So I will be taking both of them back in to dealership. When I started researching this online I noticed that this is happening on several jeep wranglers, so why hasn't there been a recall involved with this??
