MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING FROM OK TO TX, BEFORE THE FIRE MY BRAKES WENT OUT AND MY WHEEL WAS LOCKED. BETWEEN A MINUTE OF RUNNING OUT OF THE CAR WITH MY BABY MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY IN FLAMES, MY JEEP WAS AT THE DEALER 2 WEEKS AGO FOR SERVICE, I NEVER HAVE A DASHBOARD WARNING, CAR WAS WORKING PERFECTLY UNTIL CAUGHT IN FIRE, OH BEFORE MY BREAKS WENT OUT MY CAR STARTED TO LOST POWER AND THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD (PASSENGER SEAT) WE NEED SOME ANSWERS, THAT'S NOT FSIR....UPDATED 08/08/16 *BF...UPDATED 08/30/16 *BF *CN

STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE GARAGE AFTER SHUTTING JEEP OFF FOR PAST 3-4 YEARS. FUEL SPIT ISSUE RESOLVED WITH WARRANTY 12/2013. GAS SMELL AFTER SHUTTING JEEP OFF CONTINUED. 09/2014 DEALERSHIP PULLED CODE P0456, "VENT TUBE AT TANK BROKEN." PAID TO HAVE DEALERSHIP ORDER AND INSTALL A NEW TANK ONLY TO FIND THE "NEW TANK HAS CRACK AT ROLLOVER VALVE," HAD TO ORDER A SECOND REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK, INSTALLED WITH NO PROBLEMS NOTED. HEAVY SMELL OF RESIDUAL FUEL IN THE GARAGE CONTINUED TO PERSIST TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO LEAVE THE GARAGE OPEN TO VENT THE FUMES FOR FEAR OF IGNITION. COULD NOT VISUALLY IDENTIFY ANY FUEL LEAK. ALL THE WHILE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING OFF AND ON POINTING TO EMISSIONS AND FUEL SYSTEM. ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP 07/2015, PULLED CODE P0406, STATED "COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT THIS TIME." HEAVY GAS SMELL CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. 07/2016 TOOK JEEP TO MECHANIC, PULLED CODES P0456 AND P0486, FOUND THE FUEL TANK VENT TUBE WAS CRACKED AGAIN, NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK AND EGR VALVE. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TANK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, HAVE TO REPLACE THE 22 MONTH OLD FUEL TANK AGAIN. THE FUEL SYSTEM HAS HAD CONSISTENT PROBLEMS FROM INCEPTION. THE HEAVY GAS ODOR AND CRACKED FUEL TANKS POSE A SERIOUS LIFE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A VEHICLE AND/OR A RESIDENCE CATCHES FIRE. THE CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE TO GAS VAPORS ALONE IS SERIOUS CONCERN DUE TO THE CARCINOGENIC NATURE OF FUEL AND ITS VAPORS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IN VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS ONLINE, THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A SINGULAR EVENT AND IS ACTUALLY QUITE COMMON. MANY JEEP ENTHUSIASTS ARE DIY'ERS AND ARE MODIFYING/JURY RIGGING THE VENT TUBE THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR A REPLACEMENT TANK, WHICH MEANS THERE ARE A LOT OF JEEPS CAUSING HEIGHTENED EMISSIONS AND POSE FURTHER SAFETY CONCERNS THAT ARE GOING UNREPORTED AND THAT YOU ARE UNAWARE OF.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP WRANGLER 2007 WHEN I STARTED TO LOST POWER AND I TRY TO MOVE TO THE EMERGENCY LINE BUT MY BRAKES WENT OUT AND MY WHEEL WERE LOCKED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL MY CAR AT ALL, AFTER MY CAR ABRUPTLY STOP I RUN TO GET MY CHILD OUT AND MY CAR WAS ON FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD (PASSENGER SIDE) I DIDN'T HAVE A WARNING, I CHECKED MY DASHBOARD AND NOTHING WAS ON, MY CAR WAS AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOR SERVICE TWO WEEKS AGO AND PASS STATE INSPECTION LAST WEEK. THAT'S IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GET MY BAG AND WALLET, MY CAR WAS ON FLAMES. CHRYSLER NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION, IN A HIGHWAY.

PUMPING GAS TO FILL THE TANK ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. THE SENSOR THAT TELLS THE PUMP TO SHUT OFF DOESN'T WORK CAUSING GAS TO OVERFLOW ALL OVER THE CAR, MYSELF AND THE GROUND. WHAT A WASTE OF PRICEY GAS.
