“My 1999 Plymouth Breeze caught fire under the hood while sitting idle at a fast food drive thru. A bystander ran up to my window to advise that my car was on fire, he saw flames coming out of exhaust pipe. I then proceeded to get my 2 year old and sister out of the car. Firemen came to put the fire out in the car and stated it was some type of electrical fire. I had no warning of this no warning lights inside the car whatsoever.”

“Exactly as the recall is printed on your web page. You have my address wrong you added a 0 is why we never received recall letter until car already burnt up when fire department put it out they informed us of recall. So we looked it up on web site. Thank god my 17 yr old wasn't injured. She is still traumatized it was scary to her and I would of sued you if she was hurt but she wasn't so replace the money or the car thank you she earned it herself. Were honest people and want a resolution without it costing you court cost. …”
