I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND TO WORK, WHEN I SMELLED SMOKE. I IMMEDIATELY DID NOT KNOW WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE SHIELD COVERING MY SUNROOF OPENED BY ITSELF. THERE WAS THEN VISIBLE SMOKE ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE OF MY CAR COMING FROM ABOVE MY HEAD AND THE HEADLINER VISOR AREA. THE SMOKE SOON TURNED TO FLAMES JUST INCHES ABOVE MY HEAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAD TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATE AND GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER, AND PUT THE FLAMES OUT AS THEY STARTED TO SPREAD TO THE INTERIOR VISOR/ CEILING AREA. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALSO HAD TO COME AND THEY MENTIONED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS THERE WERE WIRES HANGING DOWN. THE JEEP HAD BEEN TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO FROM HERE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE JUST QUIT. AFTER SOME TIME IT STARTED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES BUT FORTUNATELY ALL A LOW SPEEDS. CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND IF THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER CHECKING POSSIBLE RECALLS ON LINE AND FINDING ONE THAT APPEARED TO BE A POSSIBLE CAUSE I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY THEN ADMITTED THERE WAS A POSSIBLE PROBLEM AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT.. WHEN I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FIX AVAILABLE YET. I ASKED THEM IF THEY EXPECTED ME TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY REPEATED THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE VEHICLE SO PLEASE TAKE MY VEHICLE AND LEAVE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR IT WOULD QUIT AT A HIGHER SPEED AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE IS OUR MAIN TRANSPORTATION BUT STILL CANNOT BE FIXED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO I CAN AGAIN HAVE TRANSPORTATION. THANK YOU.
