2003 Chrysler Town And Country engine problems

I purchased the van from a private owner 2 hours prior to this happening. He told me it overheats some. I called my chrysler mechanic in mt. Victory, oh and asked him if he could look at him. He told me to bring it down. I was traveling about 35MPH on st rt 31 s and it started overheating. I pulled over and turned it off. Smoke was coming from under the hood. I was calling for a tow and I heard the sound of fire crackling and smoke was coming through the vents.

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 chrysler town and chrysler. The contact stated that while driving at 50 MPH, the ignition was malfunctioning and the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact mentioned that burning fumes were emitted in and around the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.
