“Drove the car to a restaurant for dinner. Parked the car and went into the restaurant. Approximately 15 minutes later I saw a fire truck in the area of my vehicle. After watching for a moment I realized there was smoke billowing out from under the hood. After the firemen opened the hood I could see that several components were melted as well as see some fire. After I got the vehicle towed to a secure environment I contacted a Plymouth dealership, who gave me the phone number of another party out of state. …”
