Re: 2010 Wrangler Burns
Good Morning,
Thanks for posting that KAVIC. I'm glad the McRaes are mostly OK and the article serves to remind us all of the dangers of a hot CATALYTIC CONVERTOR (which, I'm assuming caused the fire and SHOULD have been mentioned in the article) BUT I don't think the Jeep was at fault.
Yup, the Jeep WAS designed and built to be driven off road but with some common sense. One doesn't race through a 4' deep water hazard, for example, and then complain the vehicle stalled out.
Who knows how much and where the combustable material was packed under the Wrangler.
After all, this isn't a Ford Pinto.

Glad the folks involved made it out alive! The loss of the two Jeeps does really suck!
I for one will check the 'charge' on my fire extinguisher...I'm gonna' buy a second one for safety I think
