While parked in driveway, with no one in it, car started and traveled about 50 feet prior to hitting barn. Then, would not start.

All who bought this vehicle seem to have the same problems and symptoms that lead up to the problems. What will it take for chrysler to take action and keep the good name that they used to have? We all paid a lot of money for these cars and now we all might as well junk them and buy new cars. In the long run it will save us all a lot of money!
Electrical trouble in the harness connected to the turn signal of the car--wire was burned in the harness.
Fire started inside of vehicle possibly due to short circuit of remote mirror wiring or motor on driver's side. Discovered by daughter upon opening driver's door to go to work. At first, she realized that the outside driver's mirror was hanging down from the vehicle. Upon opening door, flames emerged from the interior, slightly burning her on the arm. All heavy burn damage seems to be at the area of the motor and switch for the remote mirrors. The interior suffered total loss. No electrical alterations were done to the vehicle. All componets on the vehicle are factory installed. Can't seem to get through to chrysler for any assistance. Vehicle is of course out of warranty (3yr - 36,000)
