Patriot

  • 11,000 miles
On 4/12/17 at approximately 5:30 pm I was driving my Jeep of 11,000 miles on it. Still a new car. It started running as if loosing power. I pulled off of highway to see what was happening. I pulled hood release it did not open. I looked under Jeep to attempt to get hood open as an police officer pulled up beside car to see if I was ok. As he began to ask this and I turned to reply. Car burst into flames. Officer attempted to use fire extinguisher but it did not help and by the time fire department arrived it was a total loss. Fire raged so hot it melted the front seat head rests and the entire front of Jeep is gone. Perhaps by pulling over is the only reason I am still alive. I have a lot of documents and pictures. In these documents I have word for word of Chrysler Jeep refusing to do an investigation on why this car burned..

I purchased this vehicle 2 and a half weeks ago and it has been back to the dealer 4 times because of the check engine light. The first time they stated it was a sensor for the breaks. Second, time they stated, for the same thing a brake sensor. Third, time they said the sensor was bad. Now for the fourth time they are saying it's a module. No, it's time for a new truck a 2016 Jeep should not have the engine light come on at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's time to be in the process to file the lemon law because the car has been back up their four times maybe even more for the check engine light.
