As much as it hurts to say this... Our Jeeps are just our Jeeps, replaceable things. As long as you have yours and your family's health and happiness then you my friend are WAY ahead of the game. Hope you get back to one soon!

Just as a toy, not a daily driver. Any kind words from someone that's been in my position before? Lol. Thanks for the help over the years, I'm going to keep up with the forum more. Makes me feel still connected.

2010 jk auto caught fire


Four Jeep Wrangler SUVs have been completely destroyed due to a fire, with eight total incidents having been reported to NHTSA. Most of the reports state that the fires began while the vehicles were moving.

In one instance however, the Wrangler was parked and running when it suddenly turned off. The owner attempted to restart the vehicle when someone outside started yelling fire. “Once out of the Jeep I looked under it and saw and unknown liquid burning down to the ground from the engine area. I attempted to extinguish the fire with water but I was unsuccessful. Within minutes it was a total loss,” the owner reported to NHTSA.

As a result of these troubling fires, the NHTSA has officially opened an investigation into the 2010 Jeep Wrangler.


THAT WAS MY REPORT THEY HAVE MY VIDEO I hope they do a recall on all auto transmission Jeeps and install a bigger auto trans cooler.

Better yet, replace the whole transmission.. The 42RLE sucks.

Holy crap! I have heard of this happening. I was always worried about my jeep going up while I had my daughter with me. Forgot about it till this. Maybe it is a good thing to get a new daily driver and just get a toy....
