| Description of the problem | My son came home from school to get his wallet to go fill up his jeep when he came out back outside the front of his jeep was smoking, when he opened the hood he found the radiator fan on fire. He quickly ran and got the hose and put out the fire but it continued to smoke for about 5 mins. The jeep was running parked in the driveway the jeep only has about 4000 miles on it the air-conditioning was on. He only drove it from school about 1 mile away. We have not taken it to the dealer yet. The fans currently are not working the rest of the vehicle seems to be fine. I have picture and a video i can try to up load. |
