Consumer Description

I HAD A 2000 DODGE DURANGO AND AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES I TURNED ON THE AIR AND A SULFUR LIKE SMELL CAME THROUGH THE AIR SYSTEM. AFTER PULLING OVER AND CUTTING THE CAR OFF, FLAMES CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR BURST INTO FLAMES AND BURNED COMPLETELY UP. NOTHING WAS LEFT BUT THE METAL FRAME. MY INSURANCE COMPANY COULDN'T GIVE ME ANY INSIGHT AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. I HAD ABOUT 133,000 MILES ON IT. I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THIS SITE BEFORE I LOST MY VEHICLE. I WOULD'VE INSISTED THAT THE DEALERSHIP THOROUGHLY CHECK THE CAR OUT BEFORE I ENDED UP WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS. *TR
