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!
This car had given me no trouble on the day of the fire or prior to the fire. The car was performing perfectly. I was on my way home from work and had stopped at a stop light and saw a "whisp" of smoke. When the light turned green, I began to proceed through the intersection and the "whisp" became quite large. I immediatly pulled off the road and the engine area was smoking horribly. Within seconds, fire engulfed the engine area. The car has been totalled by my insurance company. The fire report states the fire was electrical. The car was performing correctly prior to the fire. I had no warning or indication the car was on fire until I saw the smoke. No warning or indicator lights came on. I appreicate any help you can give to me with the issue. Thank you.

Failure on hwy while trvlg at 70mph on cruise; when brake was tapped to disengage cruise, vehicle stalled; was able to coast to safe stop; this was the first incident and most other incidents have happened when driving the car and stopping and then shutting off warm engine; when I return to the vehicle, sometimes it will not start even though it turns over just fine; after waiting 10-30 minutes, the car will start and run normal; dealer said they never heard of the problem; to my knowledge, this vehicle has never had the recall work done per #94v024000 - could this be causing the problem? Thank you for your assistance. Please e-mail me with some info. Thanks again. Patrick.:)
Vehicle turn will turn over, but will not start, cause unknown. Dealer cannot identify the problem. *ak fuel pump pressure regulator was replaced but problem of starting continues.
I was not made aware of a recall on this vehicle about a possible electrical problem that I read in your recall section. Should I be concerned about a fire? The car has stalled a few times in the last couple of months. It is well upkept and serviced regularly. The recall notice said one indication of the problem was stalling.
