The auxiliary fan relay shorted out causing the power distribution block and wiring to melt. Also the fan communally ran, draining all voltage from the battery. This also caused a service engine light, though the dealer did not disclose what code was set. The dealer did not fix this the same day, they allowed me to drive the vehicle with the constantly running fan, fused together wiring, and melted power distribution block before they had time to fix it!
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.
