description: 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. *TR
