November 3,2009 automobile was a 2005 Chrysler 300 touring series. Was driving on interstate 57 south bound and the car caught fire in the rear trunk on the passenger side, where the battery is stored. Car was completely destroyed, there was a recall on these cars in 2005 and I was never informed. It recall stated that about 20,000 units were effected by the possible defect in assembly, and the recall stated that the battery cables could possibly come off causing fires. And Chrysler said it was not a defect.

Electrical fire began in engine compartment due to grounding failure in that negative battery cable was consumed w/ no damage to positive cable or surrounding area. Vehicle was declared a total loss.
