| Description of the problem | Jeep visor recall- fire inside my jeep: i had the jeep visor recall completed in january 2015, took my jeep into the jeep dealership in may/june complaining of a buring smell twice. They said i was on the list for the second recall parts to come in and they would call me. They said they inspected my jeep and didnt see anything wrong and wished me the best (depsite my dome lights being dim and passenger light documented being completly out). My jeep caught fire on friday 7. 24. 15. The fire department said it started in the passenger visor. This has been a headache over who is at fault and i wish jeep would investigate too. My family is now affraid of jeeps, my daughter doesnt want to sit in the front row any longer and it has been a mess over a potential recall error. Please help! My car is destroyed per our insurance. |
