“My 2008 Jeep wrangler rhd caught fire while I was driving. I was turning onto the hwy and drove a few feet and noticed smoke. I immediately pulled off of the road,shut the car off and popped the hood. As soon as I lifted the hood I saw flames!! I contacted Jeep and they're supposed to be doing an investigation . There wasn't any kind of warning the car wasn't even running any differently. Scary stuff especially from a vehicle that wasn't giving me any problems. Disappointed to say the least,but folks need to know for safety reasons. Vehicle is a total loss!!”
