| Description of the problem | I had just driven about 1/2 mile and parked in front of my house, went inside, took a shower and gone to bed. About 30 min later i wake up hearing popping outside, my jeep was fully engulfed. The fire appeared to have started in the compartment area or from under the floorboards. My insurance company handled the claim but after seeing all these other comments saying pretty much the same thing i would like to know why chrysler is not being held accountable. |
