STRONG ELECTRICAL-SMELLING FUMES WERE EMITTED AND THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A JEEP, DODGE, & CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING FOR 5 DAYS. THE SERVICE TECH INSISTED THAT NOTHING WAS DETECTED ASIDE FROM SLIGHT CORROSION IN THE BATTERY PLUGS, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE DID WHAT WAS ADVISED AND TOOK OUR VEHICLE BACK ON FEB 6. FEB 13, 9:45AM AFTER MAKING A QUICK STOP AT A GROCERY STORE, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD NOT START, BUT THE RADIO WAS COMING ON. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ONCE AGAIN THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS TIME, WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD.
