Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At approximately 10:30pm on december 26, 2006 our 2004 dodge durango caught of fire. we originally noticed the interior lights would not go off either manually or automatically. after driving the vehicle for about 45 minutes smoke poured out of the dash board and within minutes fire erupted and ignited the interior of the vehicle. flames broke through the windshied and caused additional damage to the roof of the vehicle. firefighters arrived on the scene within 10 minutes and extinguished the fire. all of our personal property was damaged and my daughter (7) and son (5) will still not fall asleep at night in fear the house will catch on fire since we have an attached garage. *nm
