What owners wrote
Dt the vehicle caught on fire. The fire department came and extinguished the fire. The fire department claimed it was the electrical system up under the dash. This happened on september 26, 2005. Smelled something burning while driving on the highway, but in this area it could smell like that at certain times. The vehicle had been sitting for an hour and fifteen minutes before the fire. There was no for earning and no noise. Contacted the dealer, they said they could not help us.
The buttons for my control dash where radio and heat adjustment are, the panel,. Gets blazing hot to the touch. Everytime we drive it. It's overheating so much I am concerned it wasn't fixed by a recall previously claimed. The buttons decals have melted off on some buttons. This happens when the car is on. I recently purchased this van privately in illinois.
