I was almost rear-ended the other day, and am…”

SUSPENSION · reported 2018-12-17

“No matter how long the jeep runs I only have heat on the passengers side. I have verified that my blend doors are working. Living in colorado this is a huge issue, my windshield does not defrost completely.”

UNKNOWN OR OTHER · reported 2018-11-17

“Drove up to my house and parked the jeep (after driving 8-10 miles). Went inside the house. Within 10 minutes went back outside and smoke was boiling out from under the hood and it was dripping fire on the ground. Fully involved very quickly.”
