I started the engine of my 2012 Jeep and as soon I began traveling with the Jeep fluids poured from the middle of the engine. I did not notice this until I stopped the vehicle after driving 10 minutes. The computer did not show any signs of an error or engine trouble. When I stopped the vehicle and looked under the front of the car I saw a steady stream of orange liquid pouring from the middle of the engine. This fluid was engine coolant. I immediately had the vehicle towed to a local Chrysler service station. My Jeep has been with the service department for over two weeks now. The Jeep cannot be fixed due the fact that Chrysler has no spare parts.

The fire inspector informed the contact that the fire originated from the engine area. The vehicle was completely destroyed and towed to an authorized dealer for further investigation. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35. Updated 7/19/12 updated 07/23/12
