Consumer Description

AS I WAS STOPPING AT LOCAL ARBY'S RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH, MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL WIRES BURNING. IT IGNITED BEFORE I COULD EXIT THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THERE WERE SEVERAL WITNESSES WHO SAW THE FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AND WITHIN MINUTES THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE JEEP IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR
