I owned a new 2007 Chrysler Aspen that the passenger seat -heating element malfunctioned while the vehicle was turned off. Vehicle caught on fire and was totaled. Reported to Chrysler dealership and they stated, it was not a recall issue. I strongly disagree. Fire department (chief arson investigator) clearly states in his report that it was a factory issue and very clearly fire started (while vehicle had been parked for 6-7 hours) in the passenger seat and ignited catching the vehicle on fire.
I was driving in the middle of winter, I started to smell something burning I rolled the windows down to check if it was my truck, smoke was coming from the back seat. I pulled over and opened the back door and saw my back seat burning. Had to put water and leave the windows down for a couple days, it's so horrible to think that my son usually sits there and could of gotten burned. I got this truck because I have 4 children and I drive to their activities every day.
