VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER STARTING ENGINE AND DRIVING 30 FEET FROM INITIAL PARKED LOCATION. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND EXPLOSION OCCURRED UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVER WAS STILL IN VEHICLE. NO PREVIOUS INDICATION THERE WAS ANY ISSUE WITH VEHICLE. UPON DRIVER EMERGENCY EXIT OF VEHICLE, FURTHER EXPLOSIONS AND LARGE FLAMES ENGULFED THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE WITHIN MINUTES.

UPDATE TO COMPLAINT NUMBER 10692609 REGARDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CODES P0441 AND P0445. A NEW MOPAR GAS CAP HAS TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM. TWO AFTER MARKET GAS CAPS, PURCHASED NEW, WERE FAULTY RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. THE NEW MOPAR GAS CAP HAS CLEARED THE CODES. APPARENTLY NOT ALL GAS CAPS ARE VEHICLE SPECIFIC... *TR

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS A USED CAR. THE FUEL OVERFLOW VALVE DOES NOT WORK CAUSING GAS TO SPILL OUT ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND FIRE HAZARD. THE JEEP INTERNET FORUMS ARE FULL OF POSTINGS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH SEVERAL WRANGLER MODELS AND YEARS AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO REPLACE THE FILLER TUBE CONTAINING THE CHECK VALVE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOR FREE. *TR

NO IMMEDIATE CAUSE HAS BEEN FOUND. *TR

IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMOVABLE HARD TOP WOULD FLEX WHEN DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH OR HIGHER.

I WAS DRIVING IN 4 LOW IN 90 DEGREE AND 3000 FEET ELEVATION GAIN. I COULD SMELL A STRONG GAS VAPOR. IT WAS IN THE CAB AND OUTSIDE. IT IS DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE EVAP SYSTEM. THE JKDEPENDS ON A SPRING VALVE TO RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE/VACUUM IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE ESIM IS A CRUDE DEVICE MEANT TO MEET MONITORING REQUIREMENTS. THE REALITY IS ON HOT DAY WHEN VAPORS ARE PREVALANT, ESPECIALLY IN 4WD LOW WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING SLOW AND THE ENGINE ARE HIGH REVS ARE HIGH YOU MAY SMELL FUEL. THIS REALLY BOTHERED ME WITH MY FAMILY ON BOARD. *TR
