What owners wrote
The rear power outlet (between the middle rear set and rear set on driver side) caught fire. We were driving in ocala, fl entering the I75 highway on ramp when we saw smoke and then flames shooting from the rear power outlet. We got the kids out of the van and the fire took over the entire van. I was told an investigation was completed in june by dodge but have not been told the opinion from the investigation.
