2022 Jeep Gladiator Complaint Log

Lost the clutch, no ability to shift, had no propulsion. 60 seconds later, the car was on fire while driving. Pulled over, got out, and within 20 minutes the car completely burnt to the ground. Wa state law states that the vehicle used or new should not have been sold in condition. Vehicle was purchased in 2025. Carfax report shows that vehicle was sold from dealership in Florida days after the recall was issued.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the instrument panel failed to display critical safety information as intended. No warning light was illuminated before the failure. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic, where the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V652000 (Electrical System). The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the cost. Upon further investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign: 24V652000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

I had an issue while I was driving my 2022 Jeep Mojave as I was accelerating to join traffic on the highway, and merging to the left. I suddenly lost my power steering capability. I no longer had power steering throughout my entire drive at Highway speed however once I encountered traffic on the highway and I slowed down to approximate 20-30 mph suddenly my power steering returned. This was extremely dangerous and thankfully my kids weren’t driving when it happened. Jeep doesn’t have any fix but this should absolutely be a recall! This car only has 20k miles on it and has never been mistreated in any way. All over the forums and also YouTube are stories of people having this exact issue. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Power steering failed without warning whilst driving at highway speed on i26, no warnings nor warning lights displayed. Vehicle remained operable, whilst difficult to steer I continued to next exit. As I slowed to a stop the power steering suddenly functioned again. This could lead to a fatal accident if this loss of power steering were to happen in a curve as the steering is exceedingly heavy without.

Safety Complaint: Suspension Failure Following Major Axle Rebuild In June 2025, my Jeep Gladiator underwent an invasive rear differential rebuild under TSB 03-002-24 at AutoNation. At that time, a certified Multi-Point Inspection (MPI) marked all suspension components and fluids as "Green/Safe." On February 5, 2026, a Shop Foreman at Gillman Jeep identified a catastrophic failure of the rear stabilizer links and leaking/bouncy front shocks, along with "diluted/failed" fluids. These safety-critical components went from "Certified Safe" to "Failed" in only 6 months/12,000 miles following the axle rebuild. The Safety Risk: The failed stabilizer links and shocks have compromised the vehicle's stability and handling. This is a documented Workmanship Failure (likely due to improper torque at ride height/bushing bind during the June TSB repair). The Manufacturer Response: Jeep Corporate Case Management (Case #95545827) is currently refusing to authorize safety repairs under the 24-Month Mopar National Warranty, citing internal dealership billing issues. They are intentionally obstructing the repair of a documented safety hazard and ignoring the contradictory safety inspections provided by two authorized dealerships.

I suspect there is a design flaw with the gas tank. Everytime I put gas in the vehicle, and I go to multiple gas stations, the automatic shut off on the gas pump will stop pumping gas when the tank is full but the aperture to my gas tank regurgitates a great deal of gas onto the ground. Even when pumping at the slowest speed, I manage to spill 4 plus ounces of gas onto my car and the ground. This happens every time, and I doubt I am the only person this happens to. I have never had this issue with my other automobiles. This occurs every time I get gas.

While my vehicle was still under factory warranty, a mechanical issue was diagnosed by the dealership and a replacement part was ordered. The part was placed on backorder, and I was advised I would be contacted once it arrived. I was never notified when the part became available. By the time I was contacted weeks later, the warranty period had expired. I immediately scheduled service once I learned the part was available. During the repair visit, I was informed that the prolonged delay resulted in additional damage, including components related to braking and sealing. These components are available for inspection and were identified by the servicing dealership. Brake system involvement raises safety concerns, as reduced braking effectiveness can increase stopping distance and risk to occupants and others. The condition was confirmed by dealership technicians during service. The issue was not caused by misuse and occurred due to a delayed repair that originated under warranty but could not be completed due to parts unavailability and lack of notification. The vehicle remains under dealer inspection and repair. Warning symptoms were present prior to service, and the condition was confirmed by the dealership upon inspection.

Rear differential failed, axle fluid leak, causing damage to axle, bearings and brakes. All needed to be replaced.

I went to pass a tractor trailer on a back country road. When I got around the vehicle, I came up on a curve and had no power steering. Pulled over, shut the Jeep off and problem was “fixed”. I towed it to the dealership the next time it happened and they changed the oil and told me it was out of engine oil causing the problem. It happened last week when I was passing a car, I shut the jeep off and the problem went away until today when I was passing a car. Two times I nearly crashed because there was NO WARNING that my power steering failed. This is insanely dangerous.

While driving at highway speeds, my daughter experienced, without any prior symptom, a violent shaking of the vehicle in general, accompanied by violent shaking of the steering wheel, making the vehicle difficult to control. We have since discovered it is a known issue "popularly" known as the "Jeep Death Wobble". My daughter was startled and frightened by the extent of the shaking and nearly lost control of the vehicle while driving 6o+ miles per hour on a highway. She managed to pull off the side of the road and call me to come pick her up, unwilling to drive the vehicle any further. We currently live in Ohio; if we still lived in San Antonio, TX and she was driving on one of their raised overpasses, I fear what might have happened. I believed this to be an anomaly, but have now experienced this phenomenon on four out of five Jeep Wrangle/Gladiator vehicles within my own family, a failure rate of 80%. All occurred prior to 36,000 miles (but after three years). When I took the vehicle in for repair to the Jeep dealership, they modified my statement of the problem on official paperwork because, they said, if they mentioned "death wobble" on paperwork, they would have a team of engineers descend on their dealership (which they did not want). They also recommended a repair that did not fix the problem. As an engineer, I recognize this as likely a resonance design flaw. My fear is, based on this statement and my lived experience, this serious safety issue is being greatly under-reported. While some years/models have received recalls, not all have ... and Jeep appears complicit in addressing this safety issue across all vehicles exhibiting this frightening, potentially accident-inducing issue. I cannot understand why a recall does not cover all affected vehicles ... unless, as I mentioned, the issue is being under-reported by the company. Please investigate/address this issue before someone dies. I honestly believe I came close to losing one of my daughters that day.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated that while driving 20-25 MPH, the instrument panel became inoperable. There were no warning lights illuminated. Upon research, the contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V652000 (Electrical System). The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer informed the contact that parts were on back order, but the odometer had to be ordered and recalibrated to prevent tampering. The contact checked the fuses, and the fuses were in good condition. The manufacturer was contacted, but there was a language barrier. The failure mileage was approximately 36,600.

My vehicle has just under 45,000. While driving at freeway speeds I hit a small bump in the road. The vehicle front end wobbled until I slowed back down under 50 mph. This happened 3 times on the same trip. I immediately took it in to a dealer for repair. It is known as a "Death Wobble". The problem was a steering damper had failed. There are other Jeep models that have the same designed front end and have active TSBS for this exact issue. When searching Jeep forums online it is widely considered a problem for the Jeep Gladiator.

On 10/15/2025, I left work and started my 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The Instrument Control Panel was blank. I researched to see if it was something I could do. I checked the F15 and F41 fuses and all connections to the battery. During my research, I noticed there was a recall for this exact problem. I input my VIN to find out that my Gladiator was not involved. The EXACT same problem as the recall. Why not mine? I'm currently using my GPS to monitor my speed on my phone. I have no other warnings or information to know when I'm driving; being a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

Driving down the highway and the steering wheel locked up. When I started to slow down to stop the steering came back. This could have been a really bad problem if I was turning.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated the vehicle failed to accelerate over 40 MPH, with the "Service Transmission" warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the clutch had failed. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle had previously been included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V116000 (Power Train); for the clutch, and the remedy, which involved replacing the clutch, had been completed. The dealer confirmed that the VIN was no longer under the recall. The dealer was waiting for the technician and the manufacturer to confirm if the vehicle would be covered under warranty and whether the parts would be provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,500.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle in the morning, the instrument cluster was black. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle several times to reset the instrument cluster; however, the failure persisted. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V652000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

After returning from errand about a 20 minute drive, the vehicle was parked and turned off. A short time later we saw smoke coming from the hood and realized the vehicle was on fire. The fire was on the passenger side towards the front of the engine compartment. Looks like an electrical fire that started near the power steering pump/wiring.

When traveling around 35-40 mph and a bump or dip in the road (think manhole cover) is hit by either the left or right wheel an extreme wobble and vibration in the steering column occurs. This will last 5-15 seconds until it works itself out. Research on the internet indicates that this is a common problem called a “death wobble”. The concern is that this may cause loss of control resulting in crash. This is an unmodified jeep gladiator bought new at the dealership with all mopar parts. When speaking to the dealership they do not acknowledge that this is an known problem and state that they cannot reproduce the issue. Which is reproducible as I have done it. Since this is a widely reported issue on the internet I believe this to be a severe safety issue that needs to be fixed by jeep. I do have video of one of the many incidents and can provide upon request.

I need to report an issue. After bringing my Jeep in for a minor muffler noise, the dealership contacted me and informed me that the vehicle would not start. They suggested it could be related to the diesel fuel, but they were unable to identify the exact cause. To rule this out, I contacted the city to have the fuel from the gas station tested, and no contamination was found. This was the same station where I had filled up the day before. Additionally, I had already driven the Jeep approximately 80 miles prior to leaving it at the dealership, which further indicates the fuel was not the issue. The dealership proceeded to drain about three-quarters of the diesel from the tank, emptied it completely, and replaced the bottom fuel lines. However, the problem persisted. They then replaced the fuel pump, but even after that, the issue continued. Eventually, they determined that the fuel pump itself was defective. Importantly, this is the same fuel pump that had already been replaced once before under recall. please let me know if you need evidence. I have all the email from city and more txt , etc.

Component Affected: Engine – Camshaft and Rocker Arms Summary of the Problem: My 2022 Jeep Gladiator experienced a failure of the camshaft and rocker arms due to scoring on the camshaft. This issue occurred at approximately 52,000 miles. The vehicle is currently inoperable (on and off flashing check engine light) Dealership gave me the vehicle back to drive while awating parts for repair. The required components are on national backorder with an estimated delay of over 4 weeks, leaving me without a functioning/safe vehicle. Safety Concern: This failure occurred without warning and could have led to a dangerous situation if it had happened while towing. I use this vehicle to tow a 3,500 lb camper, which is well within its rated towing capacity (6,500 lbs). The sudden loss of engine performance could pose a serious safety risk, especially on highways or in remote areas. Additional Notes: I am reporting this issue because I have learned that other Jeep Gladiator owners have experienced similar camshaft and rocker arm failures. This may indicate a broader defect in the engine design or materials. I believe this issue warrants investigation for potential recall or manufacturer accountability.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated that while an independent mechanic was driving 60 MPH, the vehicle drove over a pothole, and the steering wheel and the front end of the vehicle shuddered violently. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the "Death Wobble". The mechanic diagnosed that the steering column and other unknown parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that unknown parts of the front end of the vehicle needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the vehicle remained at the dealer for the recall repair of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V652000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 21,800. Parts distribution disconnect.

At highway speed the front suspension and steering wheel begin to shake violently after hitting a bump. This happens between 65 and 75 mph and I must slow to around 45 for it to stop. This is a well known problem with these jeeps and is referred to as "the jeep death wobble". I took it to the dealership for inspection under warranty and they found nothing wrong. 2 weeks later it did it 3 times on a short trip down expressway.

Jeep caught on fire in engine bay while parked in a parking lot. Vehicle was not running at the time. Vehicle had not been running for 20 minutes.

When filling gas tank and letting the pump stop on it’s own, Tank gets full, pump clicks off, fuel pushes back out of the fuel filler and I end up with fuel spill on my car and the ground. I worry that fuel spilling and any source of ignition equals a posible fire hazard. Jeep dealership replaced the fuel filler neck but the issue continues. After one repair attempted , I took the car back to dealership two other times for the same concern. 2nd time they say unable to replicate and the 3rd time did not perform any repairs. I have multiple videos of this issue happening when filling up the tank of my jeep. Vehicle has 27385 miles has done this since new, just doesn’t do it all the time.

I am filing a safety complaint concerning my [Year] Jeep Gladiator (VIN: [Insert VIN]), which has experienced two high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failures—the latest occurring on [XXX]. This issue is directly related to the Jeep HPFP recall previously issued in 2023. After the first HPFP failure, the fuel system—including the pump, injectors, fuel lines, rails, filter, and tank—was replaced under warranty using Jeep’s reengineered HPFP component. The vehicle then sat at the dealership for five months awaiting parts and repair. Jeep also issued a compensation check, which I accepted based on the belief that the reengineered pump was a permanent fix. However, the same failure occurred again on [XXX], requiring a nearly identical replacement of the full fuel system. The recurrence of this failure, even after the “fix” Jeep implemented through the recall, raises serious concerns about the reliability and safety of the reengineered HPFP. I am concerned this is a systemic design flaw that has not been resolved. To date, my vehicle has been out of service for extended periods, and these failures could result in engine stalling, fuel leakage, or loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Jeep has not provided adequate assurance that the reengineered part will prevent future failures. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the reengineered HPFP provided through the recall is effective and whether additional action is needed to protect consumers. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated that while the vehicle was occupied and driven at 5 MPH in the residential driveway, smoke started to be emitted from under the hood. The contact opened the hood and discovered fire primarily emitting from the top of the battery. No warning lights illuminated. The contact then used a broom to try to turn off the fire, and the contact then used water to turn off the fire. There were no injuries sustained. The contact did not file a fire report, and a police report was not filed. The fire was extinguished by the contact with water to certain the fire was extinguished. The vehicle had damage due to the fire, however, it was not destroyed. The dealer was informed of the failure, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was no longer under warranty; however, due to costs was taken back to the residence and remained in the contact's possession. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic the vehicle was inspected; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact referenced Investigation ID: PE24024 for Subject: Underhood fires. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

Violent side-to-side movement of the front end “Death wobble” when driving over a bump at a certain speed. This is my 2nd Jeep, but my 2013 Wrangler also had the same issue. From my experience, this is a consistent issue with Wranglers / Gladiators that should be investigated and / or addressed with free repairs or extended warranties.

Third brake light on tailgate continues to malfunction. It has been replaced once. This seems to be a common issue reported among Gladiator owners.

Engine began making a ticking noise and quickly began misfiring and displaying error messages. Dealership diagnosed issue as a camshaft failure, and which is a very common issue on the 3.6L V6. Issue happened on a rural road at night, but could've been a serious safety issue if it had happened in a different setting.

Driving down the Interstate at Interstate speed. Suddenly, the front end started shaking uncontrollably which in turn caused the whole truck to shake violently. I had to slow down immediately. The shaking stopped at 60MPH. The truck is a 2022 Jeep Gladiator with only 47,074, miles. The truck has not been driven off road but just normal driving. Has not been wrecked or has struck any road hazard. The event has been commonly referred to as " Death Wobble". I have read that this is a common occurrence for Jeeps. I had to pay over $800.00, dollars for repair. There was no rhyme or reason for this occurrence.

Vehicle caught fire while parked unassisted in our driveway. It was trying to start itself while on fire pulling itself into our porch setting it on fire. Fire dept put house and vehicle out. Total loss on vehicle. Vehicle is available for inspection. Fire appears to have stated on passenger side under hood.

Main battery and Auxiliary battery died due to electrical issues

This is a known issue with Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers. It’s called the “Death Wobble”. While driving at highway speed(70mph), I hit a bump which caused the entire vehicle to shake including the steering wheel. Once I braked and got the speed below 60 mph, the shaking ceased. This happened close to ten times on the particular 3 hour drive. I knew this was a possibility to happen since my son also has a Gladiator and it happened to his vehicle. It’s so prevalent there are YouTube videos out there showing it happening. This should be a recall.

Instrument panel failure when driving over any small bumps. Randomly turns off while driving. Complete loss of electrical system.

have a leased vehicle from ken garff dodge jeep in west valley utah service dept has offered excuses or flat denied service for the recall concerning the transmission clutch assembly on the manual transmission on the jeep gladiator ------- the 3 year lease ends on 16 march 2025 I get bombarded by emails to get it done but whether I make a appointment in person or over the phone ---- they will not do the work!!!!!I did make a complaint but to no use at all!!!

Occasionally, while driving on normal roads, my steering wheel locks up completely when I am changing lanes or accelerating. This issue typically resolves only when I reduce my speed to around 20-30 mph. Details: - The problem occurs intermittently and without warning. - No warning lights or error messages appear on the dashboard when this happens. - I have already taken the vehicle to the dealership, but they were unable to identify the cause after performing several checks.

The camshaft went out, along with the rocker arms, cam phasers, there is a box on the passenger side wheel well that goes out and will not allow the truck to shift or go into park. There is now something wrong with the automatic start/stop as the light continues to be on in the dash. Things started to go out as soon as the warranty expired… The truck has 80kmi. We fix one problem only for more to pop up. We purchased the jeep brand new and everything since it has had one problem after another.

The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

Vehicle Caught Fire while parked and off - the business "stellantis" has been unresponsive to all calls/attempts at help/resolution

I parked my car in the garage. It was turned off. I left the garage door open and went inside. After approximately 5 minutes I heard a car horn sounding. I went outside to check and saw flames coming from the passenger side of the car. I got the hose to put the fire out, and my neighbor called 911. The flames grew quickly and were growing. Soon the flames were on both sides of the car. Both the police and fire department arrived. The fire report indicates that the fire started in the engine area of the car. The car is now in the possession of my insurance company. My safety and the safety of others was at risk due to the fire. I was burned on my arm, neck and head. The car was completely burned. My insurance carrier inspected the car. The fire department said the fire started in the engine area. My insurance company conducted a preliminary inspection and determined that the fire started in the engine area. The vehicle been inspected by the manufacturer (Chrysler Jeep by Bosch Automotive Service Solutions), the police, the fire department and a representative from my insurance company. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 5 MPH, the vehicle completely lost battery charge and suddenly stopped, causing the rear wheels to seize. Additionally, the rear doors failed to unlock. The contact was able to get in and out of the vehicle through the front doors. No warning light indicating that the battery charge was low had illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who was unable to determine why the rear doors failed to open. The contact stated that after the dealer replaced the battery, the rear doors opened as needed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed that the repair was not covered under warranty. The failure mileage was 38,450.

Driving on highway, steering shook aggressively. Had to slow down and pullover off the road. I was able to get back on road and drive again. This has happened before and dealership said it was fixed. It happened again about 6 months later. Vehicle is stock with no modifications.

When you place the vehicle in park it rolls which is very dangerous. You go to step out of the vehicle and it is rolling, yikes!! Can't reach anyone at Jeep.

I had been driving for about an hour returning from a camping trip when my wife and I noticed a burning smell in the cab of the vehicle. About 5 seconds later smoke began filling the interior. I pulled over and got my family out of the vehicle, which includes my wife, two kids and a dog. I went to the front of the vehicle and saw flames on the passenger side inner fender as well as the top of the passenger fender. With the help of a friend who was traveling with us, I was able to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher I always carry. I think its safe to say a vehicle fire put my entire families safety at risk. I have contacted my insurance company and filed a claim, however no inspections have been performed yet. There were no warning lamps indicating there was an issue.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V116000 (Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that the vehicle could not be shifted out of neutral. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed as a failure with the clutch assembly. The contact was informed that the clutch assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,137. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked and shifted aggressively. The vehicle would rev and jerked forward. The contact mentioned the failure occurred for several weeks. On a most recent occasion, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a right turn, the contact heard an abnormal snap coming from the front of the vehicle causing control of the vehicle to be lost. The contact mentioned that the front tires were inwards and the front axle fractured. As a result, the contact crashed into the truck and the vehicle came to a stop. A police report was filed. No injuries were reported. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The vehicle was then towed to a collision center where it was diagnosed that the axle and front passenger fender flare needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.

On [XXX], traveling at the speed limit of 70mph, crossing from Illinois to Indiana my Rear Locker engaged light came on, on the dashboard. I immediately pressed the disengage button... The warning light came on, flashing, but never indicated that the rear locker was disengaged. I then immediately pulled over the vehicle at a safe location. Where i tried unsuccessfully to disengage the locker... I ended up turning the vehicle off, waiting a few minutes, and then turning it back on. The warning light did not initially turn back on. Three more times on the way back on that day, it did turn back on. The third time it never did turn off. I performed a few tests to make sure the Locker was not actually engaged. However, the system continues to tell me that the Rear Locker is engaged. Even though it is not engaged... I'm concerned that the control system for the Rear locker is compromised and poses a substantial risk to drive on the highway in its current condition.

In the early afternoon hours of July 5, 2024, our 2022 jeep gladiator rubicon with only 18,000 miles spontaneously combusted in our driveway after being parked there for just under 24 hours. While working in the yard, my husband noticed thick black smoke coming from the engine. The smoke quickly turned into flames then rapidly intensified as it spread throughout the engine, cabin and then ultimately the entire jeep. The jeep was a total and complete loss with Jeep claiming no responsibility whatsoever. We have over $60,000 in damages to our home, driveway, landscaping and soil (PFAS) from the fire, NOT including the jeep itself. Note *The engine light did go on about a month prior to the fire, which from what we were told by Jeep service dept, was due to multiple misfires. This issue was resolved immediately. After the fire, the jeep was inspected by our insurance company and also by Jeep. Because the fire was so intense and quickly spread, there wasn’t anything left. Jeep never returned our calls and never once tried to make things right! Our safety was at risk for obvious reasons. The Jeep spontaneously started on fire due to no fault of our own. Had we not have been home, or had the Jeep been parked in our garage, facing the garage or the fire started at night while we were sleeping, the outcome would have been quite different. The damage it DID do to our property along with the mental anxiety and stress of trying to pay for repairs is significant enough without actually having our house burn down to the ground. This is unacceptable! Jeep needs to take responsibility!
