ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER PARKING OUR 1998 WRANGLER AT THE HOSPITAL TO VISIT MY MOTHER MY CAR WAS REPORTED ON FIRE. THE FIREMEN STATED AND WROTE A REPORT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE WRANGLER IS TOTALED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT PAY THE VEHICLE OFF. WE ARE SHORT $3,000 OF THE PAY OFF. MY IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS I WAS GLAD I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE AND DID THIS HAPPEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF A WRANGLER. THIS CAR IS ONLY GOING INTO 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD THE REAR END REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE AND THE GAUGES GO ON AND OFF AND THIS WAS FIXED ONCE. WHAT CAUSED THIS ELECTRICAL FIRE? I WANT JEEP TO RESPOND TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. *TT
