| Description of the problem | My jeep was parked on the street in front of my house for about 13 hours and a electrical fire started on the front passenger side at around 3am. It burned half the vehicle before being put out and totaled out my jeep. It also damaged the entire back end of the car parked in front of me. The fire department ruled this was a electrical fire and not arson. Days before i noticed the outside temp was reading at 119 degrees out side when the temp was actually 99 degrees. I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it but i found it very odd. I have read thousands of incidents similar to this some involving worst property damage and even cases with fatalities. I think chrysler/jeep need to be held accountable for this and get these dagerous vehicles off the streets asap |
