| Description of the problem | While driving down our jeep wrangler down the highway my husband stopped at a red light and said he heard something hissing then he saw flames coming from under the hood. At that point the jeep would not steer or anything so he shut it off and my husband and son got out of the jeep. Moments later the entire front end of the keep was engulfed in flames. |
