Vehicle caught on fire while operational, in second the vehicle became engulfed in flames with no warnings.
I had a flat tire one week after I bought the $ 60.000 car. Then I learned the car does not come with a spare tire. Instead there is a machine, after reading the manual I got the tire to inflate. Immediately I went to a tire store to get the nail out of the tire. They said I will have to buy a new tire because I used the machine that dodge provides. I reached out to dodge and here is their reply ello paulo; thank you for contacting dodge customer care.
