I was involved in a 45 MPH side collision with a pole after hydroplaning and my vehicle burst into flames killing my 15 month old daughter 3 years ago. My lawyers say it was what they believe was a defect in the vehicle or a bad design.

Stopped at mcdonalds, saw smoke coming from under hood. A man got out of his car and said my car was on fire. He went into mcdonalds and got a fire exsinguisher and put it out. The firemen said it looked like it started at the trottle body and injector. Also the mechanic said it looked like it started at the fuel rail. I noticed the recall on here and have been told that chrsyler has not determined which cars are affected. My extended warranty will not cover this because fire was involved, and chrsyler will not cover it because they say they are not aware of any recalls on my car. My auto insurance will have pick this up and I do not think this is right.
