Consumer Description
ON TUESDAY MAY 31,2011 AT 8:00 AM I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MINS WHEN I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT. I TURNED THE A/C ON AND NOTICED A PLASTIC SMELL. I TURNED INTO THE GAS STATION TO INVESTIGATE. IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES MY ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS IN FLAMES. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS. DODGE IS RESPONSIBLE! *TR
