description: THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND SHUTDOWN WHILE TRAVERSING RT 287 NEAR BOONTON AT SPEEDS AROUND 65. I COASTED OFF AN EXIT AND CAME TO A STOP AT PARK AVE AND WOOTTON ST. WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN SO I COULD EITHER FIX/CONTINUE DRIVING, IT HAD BECOME APPARENT THAT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAD STARTED TO COMBUST. NOTICEABLE BY THE SOUND OF THE FIRE. THAT LEFT ME RUSHING TO EMPTY OUT THE VEHICLE OF BELONGINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY ENGULFED INTO FLAMES. NOTE THAT PRIOR TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING LIGHTS NOR INDICATORS HAD TURNED ON. WHEN VEHICLE OVERHEATED THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THAT WAS ALL UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY ON FIRE AND HAD SHUT ITSELF OFF. *TR
