What owners wrote
Vehicle was being driven approx 30MPH on a city road when a loud bang was heard. Immediately pulled over and luckily a stranger following behind quickly escorted the driver out as the vehicle completely went up in flames. Metal chunks and pieces could be heard falling underneath the vehicle. Upon closer inspection the transmission had completely exploded and ejected the clutch assembly shearing the input shaft and rupturing a fuel line.
While driving the jeep the digital fuel level gauge went from half tank to empty. Refueled the tank and the gauge remained on empty. A week later the fuel gauge went back up to full but when you turn the car off and back on, it return to fuel level low. It has been like this for one month with frequent refill of fuel. Currently serving in the military overseas in italy with my us spec jeep.
