Vehicle gave no warning to fire operated fine until shut down to investigate smoke. Dealership is not wanting me to know cause of failty wire at power distribution center.
Radio was popping during drive from seattle to montana. After a dinner break in idaho, engine died after driving across bridge to get back on freeway. Smoke was issuing from hood (rear drivers side of hood) before coasting to a stop. Vehicle engine compartment and engine were completely destroyed - vehicile totalled. Fire chief (shoshone county, idaho) said it looked like the fire started either in or under the fuse box under hood. Dodge sent a fire engineer to inspect vehicled but won't share the results.
