Description of the problem | A 2010 jeep wrangler rubicon caught on fire only 10,000 miles. We were riding down the road and the engine lost power and the rpm's went to zero. There was no check engines lights on and all the gauges were fine. We pulled over to the side and noticed the smoke coming from under the jeep and under the hood. The fire department said they thought it was caused by a over heated transmission and maybe back the fluid up to the exhaust which ignited it. They were not completely sure because the engine was melted so badly. |
