Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My engine began ticking, i pulled over popped the hood and smoke rolled out, i checked the fluid levels and tried to restart the car, it wouldn't start, i waited a few minutes tried starting it again and it worked, i drove 3 miles home and the engine died as i turned down my street, once again the engine was smoking so i popped the hood and flames shot up, i put the flames out and the car has been sitting in my driveway since. i have done nothing to repair it since apparently it's a design of dodge and chrysler's 2.7 v6 according to many other owners. *nm
