What owners wrote

My wife was parked at a gas station 5 miles from our home and all outlets and lights began billowing smoke into the cabin. The fire department was called and they disconnected the battery. It has 30000 miles driven. She had to evacuate the children, and it was towed to a chrysler dealer (miller in lebanon, nh) we are waiting for a diagnosis.
