Description of the problem	On may 29th of 2014 i was driving my 2008 jeep wrangler down a 4 lane city street at about 3000 rpm. I had just taken off from a red light when i heard a loud explosion that resulted in a fire underneath the vehicle. The gas tank exploded and the fire covered the bottom of the entire vehicle. There was damage under the hood on the engine side of the firewall on what appeared to be fuel lines. Luckily there was a quick response by the fire department who quickly extinguished the fire, but my jeep has been rendered un-drivable. I have contacted both chrysler and the dealership but not assistance there. The chrysler investigation team would not even take a look at the fuel lines the marshal determined started the fire. I will never feel safe in this vehicle or any other vehicle produced by chrysler ever again. Luckily there was no personal injury to me, but only because i had all the doors and top off which enabled a rapid escape. Please take a serious look a these wranglers and force chrysler to take action before someone is seriously injured or even killed.
