Consumer Description

BEGINNING FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2014 IN THE EVENING THE DOME LIGHTS OF MY DURANGO WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER THE NORMAL DELAY. WE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS TO SHUT THEM OFF BUT THEY STAYED ON. THE CAR STARTED FINE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2014 IN THE MORNING AND I TOOK IT TO RUN ERRANDS. I NOTICED AGAIN THOUGH THE LIGHTS STAYED ON. THAT EVENING WE PARKED THE CAR AS NORMAL IN THE GARAGE. AT ABOUT 3:30 AM SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2014 WE WERE AWAKENED BY SMOKE IN THE HOUSE. WE FOUND THE HEAVIEST SMOKE IN THE ROOM CONNECTED TO THE GARAGE. WE GOT OUR CHILDREN AND PETS OUT OF THE HOUSE AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. WHEN THEY ARRIVED THE DURANGO WAS ON FIRE. THE ENTIRE INTERIOR BURNED. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO OUR GARAGE AND SOME DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR ADJOINING ROOM. THE FIRE INSPECTOR TOLD US THAT THE FIRE ORIGINATED IN THE INTERIOR HEADLINING OF THE DURANGO. STARTING AT THE FRONT BY THE WINDSHIELD AND THEN MOVING TO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT THE FIRE OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. *TR
