What owners wrote
I bought the vehicle 3/6/2020 from the I-10 dodge dealership in indio, ca. The car appeared to be working perfectly: no funny smells or noises, good acceleration and brakes, no warning lights on dash console or anything like that. Last saturday (5/2/2020) I drove it to my friend's mobile home. I parked in the carport and turned the engine off. I went into the home and looked out the window about two minutes later. Smoke was pouring out of the engine compartment.
