Description of the problem	I had a lifetime warranty package on my 2008 jeep wrangler. I also keep great records of my maintained and did most of it at the dealership. I was driving 65mph on the highway and the transmission / engine area started smoking. When i pulled over group llc and lames were dripping from the transmission / engine area. Smoke quickly filled the vehicle and with-in 2 minutes the jeep wrangler was up in flames. I contact chrysler group llc and they sent an inspector out. They were very hard to work with and mailed me letter saying, "the inspector found no indication of a manufacturing defect that caused or contributed to the incident on 1 jul 14. No help at all! I want to look into this more. It seems the transmission / engine defect cost me a one jeep wrangler and they accepted no responsibility.
