ON MAY 15, 2018, APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AFTER I CRANKED MY VEHICLE AND LEFT FOR WORK MY VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS APPROACHING A 4WAY STOP IN GAYLESVILLE AL 35973 AT INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 35 AND HIGHWAY 68. LUCKILY THERE WAS A TRUCK STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME AND THE DRIVER JUMPED OUT TELLING ME VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. BEFORE I EVER GOT OUT OF VEHICLE FLAMES WERE SHOOTING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE ENGINE COVER CAUGHT ON FIRE AND TOTALED OUT THE VEHICLE IT BURNT THE ENGINE ALL THE WIRING THE HOOD AND FRONT AXLES

AS I WILL BE DRIVING THE GPS SCREEN AND RADIO WILL JUST SHUT OFF. IT WILL RESET ITSELF AND CONTINUE TO DO THIS AS I DRIVE. SOMETIMES IT WILL DO THIS WHEN I BRAKE, BUT IT WILL ALSO JUST DO THIS WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR. ALSO THE A/C WILL TURN ON BY ITSELF AND CONTINUE TO TURN ITSELF ON AS I DRIVE.

AS I WAS PARKING MY 2014 DODGE JOURNEY IN FRONT OF MY HOME THE STEERING WENT OUT ON ME. I COULD NO LONGER STEER THE CAR. PREVIOUS TO IT GOING OUT I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE EVERY TIME I TURNED THE WHEEL. AFTER THE STEERING WENT OUT WHEN I TURNED TO THE LEFT THERE WAS A HISSING SOUND. OF COURSE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

THE DRIVER SEAT SEAT BELT ALARM COMES ON AND STAYS ON, EVEN WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS ON. ALSO, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE DRIVER SEAT ISN'T WORKING. THE SEAT DOESN'T MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION ANYMORE. THE REAR SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT IS STUCK IN THE FORWARD POSITION RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT WHICH IS ALSO STUCK. ALSO, THE HORN HASN'T WORKED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE LOTS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT ALARM BEGIN WHEN I CRUNK THE VEHICLE UP IN THE MORNING. I WASN'T IN MOTION. THE MIDDLE SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT FLEW FORWARD WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND GOT STUCK AND HAS BEEN STUCK EVER SINCE. MY SONS LEGS ARE TOO LONG TO SIT IN THAT REAR SEAT AND I HAVE A CARSEAT IN THE OTHER. WITH THESE STUCK SEATS THERE ISN'T MUCH ROOM. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THE DRIVER SEAT MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S NOT REGISTERING WHEN I'M WEARING A SEAT BELT, IS THE AIR BAG GOING TO GO OFF IF IT NEEDED TO?

THESE CARS HAVE MASSIVE OIL LEAKS FROM BAD SEALS ON THE OIL COOLER AND FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY. THIS CAN CAUSE YOUR ENGINE FAILURE OR A FIRE.
