Description of the problem	Three days after buying this jeep cherokee limited i was sitting in my driveway with the car in park running when i started to smell something burning, the cabin filled with smoke to the point that i called 911 and dispatched my local fire department, they could not determine the location of the smoke, i was able to drive it to the dealership with all windows down in 18 degree weather, the dealer found "burn marks" on the cabin air filter and all they did was to remove the cabin air filter and that was it? Car make me feel unsafe as no repair or diagnostic of burning or smoke has been done. Car lost power with the a/c running last week while at the car wash, i had to turn off the a/c to get it up to speed. Also while sitting idling at mcdonalds pickup window a strong smell of gasoline was detected by the lady serving my meal, my girlfriend and others in line waiting, took it to the dealer and of course they found "nothing". Going to get rid of this thing before it catches fire.
