Consumer Description

THIS CAR WHICH HAS SUFFERED FROM REPEATED PROBLEMS, SUDDENLY BEGAN SOUNDING THE HORN AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT CAME ON. DRIVER PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT TO DISCONNECT HORN AND VEHICLE BURST INTO FALMES. WITHIN SIXTY SECONDS OF HORN SOUNDING, CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I DON'T HAVE THE VIN # ANYMORE AS THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF THIS CAR BUT TWO TIRES AND A LICENSE PLATE. MY DAUGHTER RIDES STRAPPED IN A CAR SEAT EVERY DAY WITH ME. HAD SHE BEEN IN THERE I WOULD NOT AHVE HAD TIME TO GET HER OUT AND SHE WOULD BE DEAD. THREEE WEEKS AGO A NEIGHBORS 1995 DODGE INTREPID DID THE SAME THING FOW A FEW WEEKS AND THEN SUDDENLY ERUPTRED IN FLAMES. CHRYSLER REALLY NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND IT IS APPARENTLY QUITE COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! PLEASE HELP! *AK
