About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
While exiting the offramp from a highway, I downshifted my Jeep Wrangler. The clutch went on me, and I proceeded to pull off the highway. Before I could stop the vehicle, an extremely quick fire erupted from under the engine, and spread to the cab, completely placing myself and girlfriend in a life or death situation. Within minutes, the entire Jeep was engulfed in flames, with us barely escaping. Have had no cooperation from the dealer, or Chrysler. The vehicle was in perfect running condition, which leads me to believe that there was a mechanical error. Chrysler had the vehicle inspected, told me that it wasn't their fault, but has yet to explain what actually was the cause.
