Consumer Description

MY JEEP STARTED SMOKING 1/2 MILE FROM HOME. TEMP GAUGE AND DASH LIGHTS GAVE NO INDICATION OF TROUBLE. BY 1/4 MILE THE TRANS WAS SLIPPING AND THE BRAKES HAD FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO NURSE IT INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND SOMEONE SAID THEY SAW FLAME. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW A GLOW FROM UNDER THE CAR BUT ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION. I ALSO SAW I WAS LEAKING TRANS FLUID. WE USED WATER AND THEN A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO TRY TO PUT IT OUT. 5 MINUTES LATER IT WAS FULLY ENGULFED AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ON IT'S WAY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF BIG CALLED BUT THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE. THE JEEP WAS A TOTAL LOSS.
