| Description of the problem | My 2015 jeep cherokee spontaneously caught fire with absolutely no warning. I was driving when i smelled smoke and within 10 seconds, the engine burst into flames. I have only had this vehicle serviced at the dealership and i have had all the recalls addressed. The car is a total loss and neither the dealer nor chrysler will anything but say they are sorry...
