1 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2015

I was driving up the street heard something like a ran over something then Jeep cut off got out to see if I ran over something but nothing was there and Jeep would not start back up, what if I had been on the highway or busy traffic I could have been seriously hurt, which u am blessed that did not happen, the problem I have is Chrysler should notake anything that could cause you bodily harm. A computer should never go out that is dangerous. I had to have the Jeep towed to my home and then to a ship on two different times an one time back home from the shop because I did not have 900. 00 to repair. So I'm stuck without having my Jeep repaired because I'm on a fixed income. Also having electrical problem where Chrysler did poor wiring. , cigarette lighter keep going out, blinker and radio wiring is terrible and one of the front lights. Chrysler you got to do a better job, because I loved my Jeep, but very disappointed because I can't afford to have it repair.

For a month or so the key had been getting stuck in the ignition and you would have to start the car and turn it back off to get the key out. One night we were sitting in car trying to get it to start. The Jeep wouldn't start and within seconds smoke was coming out from the top of the hood. There was 3 adults in the Jeep and 2 children. We all got out and within a minute there was flames dropping from the bottom, then within the next few seconds flames were coming up over the hood. The fire department was called and the fire was put out. We were all safe but the Jeep ended up being totaled. I was told that the wires to the battery overheated and caught fire. I believe this was a result of something to do with the key getting stuck in the ignition.
