Description of the problem	The second to the last day of hunting season my husband. And i went up above our house, about 15 miles, we were in light snow, and i could not get the throttle to engage caused us to slide back a little again tried to use throttle to go, my husband saw a wisp of smoke on passenger side, i immediately turned the engine off, my husband looks under where the smoke came from and the rack n pinion boot where on fire, i popped the hood, flames were to hot for him to open the hood. I walked down the road to safety, as my husband got out what he could of our belongings out and into the snow bank. And in that few minutes the flames were inside the cab and windows were exploding, next the tires and the paint etc..... The spare tire also blew from the back of the car. My husband left before the gas tank blew if it did we don't know. We had to walk 15 miles soaking wet . We are both disabled with neck and back injuries. This jeep is our only vehicle. I would like to request an investigation. What worries us is that had someone been confined by wheel chair or children in a car seat this would have been a deadly accident.
