| Description of the problem | I was driving on a city street around 2:30 pm when i notice smoke coming out from under my hood. I pulled off to a safe spot and by this time ii could see the fire coming out of the front of my jeep. Three fire inspectors looked at it and are unable to determine the cause of the fire. However, a jeep mechanic also looked at it and believes the fire started behind the battery. The jeep is totaled. Still waiting on reports from the insurance company. Cynthia i just wanted to give you an update. We did hire some people who went out and also were not able to fully determine the fire. I am having a hard time getting in contact with chrysler. I will keep trying and let you know what they tell me. Depending on what they tell me we might move forward with more investigation. I will keep you updated.
