What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 jeep wrangler. While driving 25 MPH, all the instrument panel gauges illuminated and the brake pedal felt soft. The vehicle slowed down and the contact smelled smoke. The vehicle caught fire on the driver's side of the engine compartment. The contact pulled the vehicle over, opened the door, and the fire spread. The contact had to quickly exit the vehicle. A police report was filed and the fire department extinguished the fire. There were no injuries.
While pulling out of my driveway I gently pressed the acceleration pedal and the vehicle started to glad the traction control light on the dash and the brakes were applied via the ABS system. The car lost all forward momentum . I thought maybe the car had just broke traction even though I was on a flat surface that was paved and dry.
