What owners wrote
On 8.20.18 my vehicle going 70MPH on the freeway and then made a large sound. I then lost all steering and braking on the highway. I barely was able to pull off without getting hit. After sitting, smoke started coming out of from under my hood. After popping the hood, there were flames down in the engine. I poured the little amount of drinking water on the flames to douse them. The tow truck came and took us to the nearest dodge dealer (crown dodge in redding, california).
Losing brake lights while stopping. Not specific to driving conditions, I.e. Day night city highway weather. Error message is displayed on instrument cluster, dash. Happens usually once each trip.
