Description of the problem	We purchased a new 2011 jeep grand cherokee 11/23/2011. The car had 308 miles on odometer. On 11/25/2011 as we were going out of town the vehicle's diagnostic (obd ii) system warning appeared, with a symbol "mil" indicating a malfunction indicator light. I checked the fuel tank cap and it was tight, i drove the vehicle to the nearest chrysler/jeep dealership in hamptonroads, va. The service department checked out the problem and determined it to be a # 6 cylinder, misfire-coil failure. None were available for replacement. The service department person stated that it was ok to drive the vehicle locally but suggested it would not be a good idea to drive it out of town, as it would not get very good gas mileage! We started to drive the vehicle home, however; approximately 2 miles after we departed the jeep dealership the vehicle caught a fire and burned the entire engine compartment/front of vehicle. We, my wife and i escaped without physical harm, but had to stand by and watch it burn until the firedepartment arrived.
