Consumer Description

ON THE ABOVE TIME, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY CHILDREN FROM DAY CARE, WHEN THE BATTERY MODE ICON FLASHED. THEN THE LIGHTS, RADIO, AIR CONDITIONER WENT OFF, IN THAT ORDER. I TURNED ON MY SIGNAL LIGHT SO THAT I COULD PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER, WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO START MAKING A WHIRLING SOUND, STARTED SMOKING, AND THEN I COULD SEE FIRE. THANK GOD OTHER PEOPLE SAW WHAT WAS GOING ON AND ALLOWED ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY WITHOUT GETTING INJURED. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF INCIDENTS LIKE THIS REPORTED. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3, MY CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD, THIS IS RIDICULOUS, NOW I AM OUT OF 850 PLUS 100 TO TOW IT. DODGE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. FIX THIS. *TR
