“I own a stock 2007 Jeep Liberty with the 3.7l v6 and automatic transmission. While driving home the vehicle shut off unexpectedly on a busy five lane 50 MPH road. As I coasted into a driveway I saw heavy dark black smoke pouring from under the hood. As I opened the hood there was 5-6 inch flames on most of the stock wiring under the hood. The positive cable that runs under the engine rubbed under the engine until it shorted on the grounded engine block shorting out the electrical system. …”
