I saw this after driving by last night around 10:20pm. The jeep was head on into a tree and burned so badly, only the frame remained. Very sad. Any follow up in this would be nice.

I am curious about what type of Jeep. My brand new Jeep had a problem where the exhaust almost lit the whole bumper on fire. The muffler was engineered wrong and one tiny bump or pot hole and the whole muffler can get wedged into your car and start a fire! Jeep dealership would NOT fix it! Took it to Arcata muffler, and they fixed it right away.

Whoa! Thanks for this heads-up. I’ve never liked the centre of gravity on Jeeps, but my neighbor has one and I’ll definitely pass this on to her. Thanks again. af
