Reported at 6,000 miles, July 2013 CrashInjury

I was all most injured/killed by 2013 jeep wrangler with 6300 miles on it when the airbag deployed on its own and caught on fire. On sep 16 2013 at 2100 my jeep was caught in a rain shower with the top and doors off for about 15 minutes before I got off work, I drove it home in the rain and put it in the garage to dry off, it was not that wet so I thought I would just let it air dry,my drive home was a little over four miles.
