| Description of the problem | Purchased a 2012 jeep wrangler sport on 3/3/12 at roughly 2pm cst. At about 4pm cst, i parked the jeep in my apartment's parking garage. I decided at about 6pm cst to go get some dinner, and to cruise around as well in the new vehicle. I observed smoke coming from the parking garage, and when i got into the garage, i observed my new jeep on fire. The entire front end of the vehicle was engulfed in flames. Both front tires exploded as a result of the fire, and the entire front end was completely damaged. The interior is destroyed; basically totaled out. Vehicle was purchased with 11 miles on the odometer, and ended with about 17 total. |
