“I arrived home and parked my car under my carport at 8:30 p.m. At 12:20 a.m. I heard loud popping noises and smelled smoke. I went outside to see my 2019 Dodge Durango with 9,012 miles on fire. The hood of the truck was fully engulfed with fire. This fire caught onto the house and my neighbor's home.”
NHTSA complaint #11306810, filed 2020-02, 9,012 miles“I was driving my new Durango on I-95 north from fredericksburg, va to woodbridge, va, when I hit a bump on the highway and the entire dashboard flickered very fast about 15 to 20 times, then the car accelerated on its own and then quick accelerating on it's own.”
NHTSA complaint #11271268, filed 2019-10, 500 miles“My car completely shut off on me while taking a right turn into my driveway. It died at the end of my driveway. It turned back on after I put it in park and restarted the engine. Thankfully this did not happen on a busy road in town or on a highway. When I also turn my car on, my stereo sometimes work and sometimes doesn't . It does this a lot. Is any one having the same issues? My car has just a little over 11k miles and shouldn't be having this issue.”
