The vehicle had been driven for about 35 minutes at approximately 70mph on the interstate. The vehicle unexpectedly began to produce a thick white smoke. The vehicle was immediately pulled over and placed into park; the vehicle was already on fire upon exiting. The grass beneath had caught on fire as well. The hood began to blacken indicating a fire in the engine compartment close to the firewall. The entire incident took place in about thirty seconds; from the time it began to smoke to the time it was on fire begin the entire incident. A truck driver with a dry chemical fire extinguisher put the engine fire out; after lifting the hood to a ball of fire. The only injury begin light burns from lifting the hood. Essentially, my Jeep Wrangler, with no aftermarket parts installed, burst into flames for no apparent reason.
