I, THE MOTHER OF THE CHILD THAT OWNED THE JEEP WRANGLER, MAILED PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE ENGULFED IN FLAMES, AS WELL AS, COPY OF PURCHASE OF WRANGLER. I ALSO ENCLOSED A DETAILED LETTER TO THE NHTSA OF THE INCIDENT. I AM UPDATING MY RECENT INFORMATION THAT I HAD MAILED, BECAUSE I HAVE REALIZED THAT I CLOSED THE LETTER WITH MY OLD PHONE NUMBER.

SEEING THAT I AM THE INDIVIDUAL THAT SENT THE INFORMATION VIA THE POSTAL SERVICE, I WILL ENTER MY NAME AND E-MAIL INFORMATION.

EVERY TIME THIS VEHICLE IS FUELED UP, THE GAS WILL COME GUSHING OUT BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND WAS COMPLETELY SOAKED WITH GAS THE FIRST TIME I FILLED IT UP. I DO NOT TOP IT OFF AND IT IS ON 10% ETHANOL 89 OCTANE GAS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. FROM WHAT I READ THE NHTSA HAS LOOKED INTO THIS AND DROPPED IT???? SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT FROM THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP FROM HOME TO WORK, I WAS PROBABLY FIVE MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE WHEN MY AIR BAG LIGHT BEGINS TO DING ON AND OFF EVERY COUPLE OF SECONDS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE SAME RESIDENTIAL STREET I ALWAYS TAKE TO WORK AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY ISSUES IN THE PAST. MY VEHICLE IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND IS NOT ABUSED LIKE SOME JEEPS. AFTER WORK I WAS DOING RESEARCH AS TO WHAT COULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM AND THE CONSENSUS SEEMED TO BE THAT IF A JEEP WAS RAINED ON YOUR CLOCK SPRING WOULD SOON GO BAD. I HAVE REMOVED BOTH THE TOP AND DOORS FROM MY JEEP, BUT THE JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN RAINED ON. MY JEEP IS GARAGE KEPT AND THE ONLY ELEMENTS IT HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO IS HEAT AND DUST. ALSO, I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE IN JANUARY AND I AM IN NORTHERN UT SO THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT EVEN HAD THE TOP OFF WITHIN SIX MONTHS FROM THE INCIDENT. [XXX] SAID THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THE AVERAGE COST IS AROUND $500.00 (THEY SEEMED AWARE OF THE FAULTY PART). AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THE 2008 CLOCK SPRING WAS FOUND TO BE RECALLED BUT NOTHING LATER THEN THAT? I AM CONFUSED HOW THE SAME PART CAN BE RECALLED ON THE SAME VEHICLE BUT ONLY FOR ONE YEAR? JEEP PROMOTES THEMSELVES AS TRAIL RATED, YET I WOULD ARGUE THEY ARE SIMPLY NOVELTY AT THIS POINT WITH ALL FASHION AND NO FUNCTION (MIND YOU THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT EVEN PARTAKE IN OFF-ROADING). LASTLY, ASIDE FROM THE OBVIOUS SECURITY CONCERN IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS VEHICLE NOW WILL NOT PASS SAFETY AND EMISSIONS TESTING DUE TO MOPAR'S FAILURE I AM NOW REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND HELP OTHERS IN THE FUTURE! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, AND SPEED CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY VEHICLE, THE FUEL SPITS UP OUT OF THE FILLER WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THERE IS CONSISTENTLY ABOUT 1/4 GALLON OF FUEL ON THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND, AT EVERY FILL-UP. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AND THIS OCCURS AT EVERY STATION. *TR
