My 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee caught fire due to a faulty vanity visor mirror wiring that has a recall and was repaired per recall prior to the fire. I was able to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. My car has had the recall performed and was in to two different dealerships this year for recall service. Had I not been in a parking structure, I wouldn't have had access to a fire extinguisher and the car certainly would have burnt to the ground. I was entering a parking structure at the time of incident (driving). Recall number:15v-879.
I was driving my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee on a city streetwhen my eyes and throat started burning. My 10 month old infant began to cry as I realized smoke was filing the cabin. I panicked, and pulled over, turned off the car and immediately took my baby out of the car. We remained in the side of the road for assistance. I continued seeing smoke coming out of the right side of my car. When assistance arrived, I realized the right visor had caught on fire and a result was burned with a black hole. I took my Jeep to the dealership on January 6, 2015 to get it serviced for recall p 36, which is related to the sun visor wiring. I was told by the dealership, that the recall had been completed. I contacted chyrsler customer support after my Jeep was on fire and filed a complaint. The representative was so rude and told me it would take 2-3 business days to get my case reviewed. This was not a surprise, as I have dealt with Chrysler customer service in the past and have never had a good experience. I feared for my safety as well the safety of my infant. I refuse to drive that car, and was told by the customer representative that I shoukd take it to the dealership. Why they would suggest that ? I don't know. I don't feel safe and now I am car less as I wait for someone to review my case.
I have received a recall for my Jeep: the totally integrated power module (tipm) contains an internal fuel pump relay that could operate intermittently or fail without warning. An intermittent or failed fuel pump relay could cause the engine to stall while driving and cause a crash without warning. Three months later, Jeep says the parts are still not available, therefore, my car is still dangerous to drive. Recall status: incomplete but repair parts are not available. Furthermore, Jeep wants to hack into my wiring to replace a relay. That relay is originally part of the totally integrated power module. They are trying to take a "cheap" rather than "proper" approach to repairing my vehicle. I want the module replaced in whole, as this is where the relay in question was engineered to reside. Furthermore, I have called my local Jeep dealer to verify the availability of the totally integrated power module. I was told that they could order it and have it on their shelf in 2 working days! I want Jeep to repair this safety defect immediately, and properly, as the vehicle was designed and engineered to operate.
