I was driving down the road and without any warning the vehicle caught fire under the hood. I lost steering and brakes. Was able to run vehicle into curb and just got out before things started blowing up. The vehicle was completly distroyed. I reported the incident to my insurance and a few days later I was contacted by a invistagator from daimler Chrysler who stated that they wanted to replace my vehicle because the fire was there fault. This statement lead me to beleave daimler Chrysler knows about a problem and want to keep it very quite. I was told if I talk to any one the deal would be off. As of now I still do not have my replacement vehicle. Daimler Chrysler is insisting I take a vehicle of lesser value that my Durango. Any information reguarding this would be greatly appriciated. I feel like I am at the mercy of a very powerful corporation.
Vehicle caught fire shortly after parking it. It gave no indication of a problem previous to the fire. Dealer gave no explanation or reason for the fire.
