One day my Jeep was getting no back pressure, turned around my check in engine light came on on my way home from work it started to smoke and then eventually caught on fire luckily I got out. Fire dept had to put fire out.
Consumer was traveling about 35mph on a side street and without prior warning vehicle shut down. Airbag light and lights inside and outside went out. Vehicle will be towed to a mechanic. Dealership was contacted numerous times.
Three engine mount bolts snapped at once while driving 55 mph on palisades parkway in New Jersey. There was no warning (vibrating engine, noise, etc) before bolts snapped. According to my mechanic, this is the second Jeep Cherokee he has seen with this problem. Since there is relatively low mileage on the Jeep, and since I do not drive it off road, this should not be happening. The only reason the engine remained in the car was due to the distributar cap. It took 4 titanium drill bits to remove all three snapped bolts. Were it not for my distributor cap, this problem could have cause a major accident on a major New Jersey highway.
