Dear sir/madam: safety issue: my plymouth van caught fire somewhere in the lower dashboard on driver side. We had just driven the car and parked it, when minutes later the horn sounded and we say smoke and flames. The fire department was called. The car doors locked themselves, one front light went on, rear tail light was on during fire. Fortunately no one was in the van. Why did the fire start and why did the van doors lock. This is a real safety issue.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle was purchased two weeks ago and the transmission failed. The transmission began to make a banging noise while driving at 50 MPH. When the vehicle was moved off the road and placed into park, the gear position indicator shifted out of park . However, the vehicle would not move in either direction. The dealership was contacted, and they determined the transmission needed to be replaced.
