CAME HOME FROM WORK, PARKED CAR IN DRIVEWAY. WITHIN 5 MINUTES A FIRE ERUPTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. NEITHER DAIMLER CHRYSLER NOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY COULD DETERMINE THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.*AK

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES NOW FOR VERY ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE SAG, IDLE UNDERSHOOT, ETC. PCM HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED WITH CURRENT SOFTWARE, ETC. DEALER CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD NO FIX IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS CONDITION. VEHICLE SHAKES AND TRIES TO DIE. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS MAY DIE WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT. DEALER BASICALLY SAYS CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T FIX IT PROPERLY.*AK

ON BOTH FAILURES THE JEEP WAS IN PARK, WITH THE BRAKE ON AND THE ENGINE IDLING. THE CAR LITERALLY TOOK OFF IN REVERSE AND BOTH TIMES WAS ONLY STOPPED BY FENCES. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS ON FLAT GROUND. I REPORTED THE FIRST INCIDENCE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IF I COULDN'T PROVE IT, THEY WEREN'T RESPONSIBLE AND THEREFORE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE. I DID NOT REPORT THE SECOND INCIDENCE, BUT I HAVE ALSO NOT FIXED THE DAMAGE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SCC ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****747979
