| Description of the problem | I did get into a minor accident while driving onto a on ramp and my vehicle skidded the guard rail. I exited the vehicle to check for damage and saw a flame near the hood of the car and immediately exited. The gas tank was never hit nor did i have a major direct collision in the accident however within seconds the vehicle burst into flames and was completely engulfed. The entire vehicle and my personal contents inside melted into nothing. I loved jeeps but the incident has persuaded me to avoid purchasing them for the near future. |
