I was driving my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 2.0T/AT to the gym with my spouse. No Check Engine Light, Jeep Temps were perfect. All gauges operated as it should, so there was no sign of trouble. The vehicle was OFF. We parked and walked into the gym and then into the 1 set of exercises, Someone yelled in the gym that someone's truck was on fire. We ran outside and Lo and Behold it was our Jeep. The Engine Compartment Was totally Destroyed. Please Look At the Pictures for Reference.

The radio/infotainment system would reset every time I would have my Bluetooth & usb connected to my phone. This started about 4 months ago. Weeks later, my battery would be dead so I would have to jumpstart it. This started 2 weeks before the incident. The day of the incident, my car failed to start right after taking my foot off the brake while my car had shut off(due to the gas feature) at a stop light. I hooked up a jump kit but it did nothing. All the lights in my car began to blink like Christmas lights & even my windshield wipers went off until my car slowly & completely shut off in the middle of traffic. This took place on November 17th, 2021.
