My 2010 Dodge Charger caught fire and exploded. I was sitting in it with the air conditioner running, waiting for my son. I smelled something burning, but not like plastic or the smell when it's overheating. I looked at my dash and the thermostat needle was straight up then I saw a little puff of smoke out of the corner of my eye. I popped the hood and flames shot across the windshield. I opened the door and rolled out because my seat was reclined. I could see fire under the hood, I reached back in and turned the engine off thinking maybe it would help. I grabbed my phone which was stuck to the dash with a magnet and I ran like hell!
My esp keeps coming on and it's been changed. The clear coat is peeling off in different spots of my vehicle and I've notioced that other vehicles with the same year as mines is doing the samething. My co-worker has the same year as I do and was wondering if she got a lemon and I asked her what year she had and we both have a 2010 Dodge Charger

My son and I were traveling home in charleston wv. We merged onto the patrick St bridge in the left lane. There was a disabled vehicle in the lane that did not have on it's hazard lights. Due to rain and wet conditions, when I applied the brakes to stop the car hydroplaned and hit dead center in the rear of the 2006 Ford Explorer that was disabled. The crashed caused the rear of my car to lift slightly off the ground and moved all front end components from the grill to the radiator etc... into the engine. This shifted the engine backwards, crumpled both fenders, and also the hood. The airbags did not deploy at all for either passenger side for my son or driver side for myself. No one was injured in the crash. The car is being considered a total loss at this time. Everyone I have spoken to are shocked the airbags did not deploy with the amount of damage the impact caused. I have seen that there was a recall on the 2011-2012 Dodge Chargers for airbags but I did not see a recall for my make or model. I will be following up with Dodge also to investigate this problem.
