Consumer Description

THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WAS PARKED AND RUNNING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TURNED OFF. I ATTEMPTED TO START, AND HEARD MY SISTER YELLING GET THE CAR IS ON FIRE. ONCE OUT OF THE JEEP I LOOKED UNDER IT AND SAW AN UNKNOWN LIQUID BURNING DOWN TO THE GROUND FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I ATTEMPTED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH WATER BUT I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. WITHIN MINUTES IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE REAL GOOD VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT FROM BEGINNING TO END, DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY SISTER WAS VIDEOTAPING A HISTORIC POST OFFICE AT THE TIME TURNED AROUND AND WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE INCIDENT AS IT OCCURRED. *TR
