NHTSA complaint: 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN — UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I DROVE MY VAN TO TOWN AND BACK, NO MORE THAN A 10 MILE TRIP. PARKED IT IN THE USUAL SPOT. TWO HOURS LATER, WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE SHOWER AND I WAS IN MY BEDROOM SCRATCHING OFF LOTTERY TICKETS WHEN THE NEIGHBOR WAS YELLING ABOUT OUR VAN BEING ON FIRE. I LOOKED OUTSIDE AND SURE ENOUGH MY VAN WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES! NOTHING IS LEFT OF IT BUT A METAL FRAME. WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BURN OUR HOME DOWN. WEIRD THING IS, YEARS AGO MY SUPERVISOR'S 2003 CARAVAN WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT FOR 7 YEARS WHEN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND CAUGHT THE CAR NEXT TO IT ON FIRE AND BURNT BOTH DOWN! IT'S TOO BAD BECAUSE I ACTUALLY LOVED MY VAN!
