Friday morning june 27th while my wife was driving to work, she noticed smoke coming from the driver side panel below the dashboard. Within minutes the vehicle was filled with smoke and fire spread from the dashboard to the rear of the SUV completely burning it until the fireman put it out.
My durango shift into 4 wheel hi and 4 wheel lo by itself while driving and while sitting. This cause my truck while driving to jerk and it locks the wheels up. This situation causes difficulty to turn also.
