I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 2 HOURS WHEN I NOTICED A SMELL. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND GOT OUT TO TAKE A LOOK. I FIRST WALKED TO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NOTHING. I TURNED AROUND AND STARTED FOR THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I LEANED IN THE TO DRIVERS SIDE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND SAW FLAMES. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES, NO LIGHTS, NO PERFORMANCE ISSUES, ETC. EVERYTHING WAS STILL WORKING FINE WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF.*DT THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS. *TR

NHTSA ODI 11090279

SEE POLICE REPORT AND ATTACHED PICTURES. DRIVING SLOW ON A BACKSTREET AT LESS THAN 25 MILES P\H. BRAND NEW 2017 STOCK JEEP WRANGLER SPORT. LESS THAN 6,000 MILES. I AM NOW A HORRIFIED WOMAN THAT KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT WHY MY NEW JEEP WRANGLER CATCHES ON FIRE OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE IN MOTION! ONCE WE SAW FIRE FLAMES, SMOKE AND RED OIL ON FIRE COMING OUT FROM ENGINE AREA AND BELOW THE VEHICLE DRIVERS SIDE, WE QUICKLY STOPPED ON RESIDENTIAL STREET. ME, MY 70 YEAR OLD MOTHER WHO IS SICK AND MY 24 YEAR OLD AUTISTIC DAUGHTER HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THIS FIRE TRAP VEHICLE SCREAMING AND CRYING!!! THIS WAS AN UNEXPLAINED AND SPONTANEOUS FIRE!!! WHY? NO REASON BEHIND IT AND NOTHING THAT I DID TO CAUSE IT. THE FIRE WAS LUCKILY AND QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED BY GOOD SAMARITANS AND CITY WORKERS NEAR BY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND SHOWED UP ALONG WITH POLICE OFFICER. FIRE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME TO WRITE A COMPLAINT ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD TO RESPOND TO MANY JEEP WRANGLER FIRES IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. I WAS SHOCKED AND HORRIFIED, HOW CAN THIS BE??? HOW BAD THIS COULD HAVE TURN OUT TO BE IF CITY WORKERS WHERE NOT NEAR BY WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER?. JEEP NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. PLEASE PROTECT THE CONSUMERS AND JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS WHO ARE UNAWARE OF THESE FIRE TRAPS. THIS IS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS FIRE ISSUES ON JEEP WRANGLERS. I PRAY YOU START AN INSTIGATION AND RECALL SO THAT NOBODY ELSE HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE! *BF UPDATED 8/3/18*JB
