Description of the problem | August 9, 2015, left home in my jeep and drove approximately for a half mile than noted a severe smell inside . Turned around and went back home thinking that oil is leaking and burning. August 10, 2015, drove to work approximately 15 miles. At work, on the parking lot i lowered the sunvisor on the driver side and that's when i discovered the cause of yesterday's smell. There is a large burned out hole in the roof liner. I know there was a recall on this potential fire hazard in the past. It was apparently fixed by my dealership on november 4, 2014. However, it looks clearly the issue has not been resolved. At the moment, i am a bit traumatized by this apparent fire danger. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
