Description of the problem | Vehicle fire - while driving my 2015 jeep grand cherokee ecodiesel, the vehicle lost power on a city street and spontaneously caught fire. The fire quickly filled the cabin with chemicals and smoke. There were no warning signs and luckily, due to the cold temperatures, the fire was put out before myself and the other occupant were burnt up in the car. After two weeks of investigations by the dealership and fiat chrysler, there is still no determination of the cause. The car was purchased new and less than three years old and the time of occurrence. *dt*jb *dt *dt *dt *jb |
