1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2013

I was driving my car when all of a sudden it started to chock like it was getting no gas I decided to turn around to go home because I live in a rural area with no cell service when I stopped to turn around a man that was behind me came running over to get me out of the car because he said it was on fire under the back drivers side I didn't even know it was on fire if is was not for him I could have been severely injured or even died the car burned up and exploded with in two minutes of me getting out. The car was fine when I started it that morning and the day before I drove it about 100 miles with no problems. I don't know how this can be a cat should just not go on fire like that. The car had to be junked because there was nothing left of it. I contacted Dodge and they said there was nothing they could do for me because the car was totaled. I had no fire on this car because of its age so now I am out a car that was in very good condition and I could have had it for many more years. Dodge will not even look into this matter I hope that this doesn't happen to someone else because they might not be as lucky as me to get out uninjured. Can you please look into this for me I am very upset with this and am worried that someone is going to get hurt something is not right with this car and now I have no car and can't afford to buy one now and I live 14 from the nearest store.

2 Equipment problem

I am leasing a 2003 Dodge Caravan. I have noticed that the mileage on the vehicle is unusually high. At the end of a two year period I had over 33000 miles on the vehicle. I drive 40 miles per day round trip to work 5 days a week minus 2weeks vacation. The vehicle is driven no more than 50 miles on the weekends. We previously leased a vehicle for 18 months a kia sportageand due to mechanical problems cancelled the lease for the Caravan. When we made the trade the kia had 22000 miles on it and our driving habits have not changed. Is there a way to check the odometer for accuracy? I believe the dealer has modified the odometer to get penalty mileage at the end of the lease.
