On fri may 11, 2012 8;30 am . I was driving my Jeep Liberty and notice a strong odor in the vehicle then I noticed a burning black smoke coming from my drivers side door control panel , as quickly as I could I pulled off the road into a parking lot , at that time my windows where malfunctioning and the vehicle was fully engulfed with black smoke turned vehicle off and took keys out of ignition climb over to passenger side door to exit vehicle and got two children out from the back of the vehicle . Stood there in shock for a moment , and noticed that the smoke in the vehicle was starting to dispensed and clearing out . At this point I called the dealership service and told them what happened and needed emergency tow. When the tow truckdriver got to the location , he the stated he needed to put the keys in the ignition in order to put the vehicle into (n) in order to tow . Noticed window switches had melted and sank into door, at that point the vehicle started to smoke again but increased threw the window and speaker of drivers side door , tow driver pulled keys out of ignition and again smoke slowly dispensed . Tow dragged vehicle onto tow truck instead. 20 min later dealership called stated that my vehicle went on fire at their location and needed to be put out with two fire extinguishers. ?? I was moments from entering a parkway and the thought of what would have happened to myself and family if I would have not been able to get off the road in time !! its been 9 days and at this time Jeep Chrysler was contacted but still has not respond to this situation? or has contacted me , my personal insurance as given me a claim number, this vehicle is only 6 mos old and this should have never happened.
