I started my car with my factory installed remote starter and 5 minutes later my car was engulfed in flames. This was a brand new car, and has been reported to Chrysler,. I reported this the day it happened on 5/9/22 and I still have not heard back from Chrysler. Just concerned this could happen to others.
