After being in an accident head on there was not much damage to vehicle, soon after consumer got out of vehicle, it caught on fire. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything. Consumer stated ABS failed.*slc
My dodge stratus 2000, 65,071 mileage, caught fire in the engine compartment. Everything under the hood "melted." the fire did not reach the inside compartment of the car. The firefighters were speedy at putting out the fire. There was smoke coming out from under the hood after about 10 min. Of driving. And a burning smell which I thought was engine oil. I took it to a dodge dealer for repair. They replaced the transmission pan, the valve cover gasket, spark plugs and belts.
