ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON 9-2-211 WAS DRIVING HOME AND SMELT SOMETHING BURNING. PULLED OVER AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. UPON OPENING HOOD QUICKLY REALIZED IT WAS ON FIRE. IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES THE ENTIRE JEEP WAS IN FLAMES CAUSING TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND IT HAD NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR IN THE SHOP FOR EEED REPAIRS. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
THE VEHICLE SHAKES OUT OF CONTROL AT 50MPH OR AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR FLAW IN THE BLACK TOP ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES OUT OF MY HANDS AND YOU CAN NOT GET THE VEHICLE CONTROLLED UNTIL YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE REPLACED TIRES, SHOCKS AND CONTROL ARMS BUT THIS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NO ONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE ON A FREEWAY, BECAUSE I WILL EITHER HIT SOMEONE OR SOMEONE WILL HIT ME. PEOPLE WILL NOT DRIVE IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WHEN SOMEONE SEE IT HAPPEN, THEY TELL ME IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
DEFECT: FAILURE OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED MOPAR/CHROME BUMPER IN AN IMPACT OF LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR. 2011 JEEP WRANGLER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEREIN THE FRONT RIGHT BUMPER IMPACTED INTO A FIXED OBJECT (FREE STANDING BRICK WALL). THE BUMPER, WHICH CONSISTS OF TWO CHROME WRAPPED TUBULAR DEVICES MOUNTED TO A CENTER HOLDING BRACKET, SUFFERED NEGLIBLE DAMAGE CONSISTING OF SHALLOW ABRATIONS ON THE TUBULAR DEVICE AND WITHOUT EVIDENCE OF DENTING OF SAID DEVICE. THE TUBULAR COMPONENT MOUNTS TO THE HOLDING BRACKET BY WAY OF BOLTS. THE MOUNTING BRACKET SHOWS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE HOWEVER THE TUBULAR COMPONENTS NOW MOVE FREELY BUT REMAIN MOUNTED TO THE BRACKET INDICATIVE OF DAMAGE TO THE HOLDING BOLTS OR THE INTERNAL NUT/SCREW SYSTEM INSIDE THE TUBULAR COMPONENTS. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN A CONFINED SPACE OF A DRIVEWAY. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND EXAMINED THE BUMPER. THE LOCAL DEALER DID NOT BELIEVE THE BUMPER WAS DESIGNED TO BE "BREAK AWAY " IN A LOW SPEED/LESS THAN 5 MILE PER HR ACCIDENT. THE DEALER WAS ASKED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE OF THE BUMPER TO DISCUSS THIS DEFECTIVE PART OR DESIGN FLAW. *TR
