He said his "new CAR is on fire". Looks like the Jeep gods knew in advance he wasn't fit to own a Jeep. They would rather sacrifice one of their own than suffer.

That.... Or he's got buyers remorse because he really wanted the Rubicon.

I know of a 2012 Jeep that was bought here in Houston and was driven less than 3 hours from the time of purchase, when it came back to the dealership on a flat bed smoldering from a self ignited fire. So it can happen to even the newest of Jeeps.

Are they only seeing these issues with the '10 models? I have a 12 and couldnt imagine mine burning to the ground. Even with insurance.
