Consumer Description

I WANT TO LAUNCH A COMPLAINT THAT TODAY MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND NOTICED MY CAR STARTED SMOKING. A POLICE OFFICER IN THE CAR BEHIND ME TOLD ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED THREE SMALL POOLS OF DRIED AND WET RED FLUID THAT MAY HAVE BEEN LEAKING FROM MY HOOD AND BE IN SOMEWAY RELATED TO THIS INCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN SOME TYPE OF RECALL OR COMPLAINT LINKED TO RED FLUID AND ENGINE FIRES. THANK YOU. *TR
