additional type: https://schema.org/AccidentReport
start date: 2018-07-08
description: THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED SMOKING, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY FIRE WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN. MY 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER ONLY HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT, AND ALL SERVICE WAS DONE AS RECOMMENDED BY DODGE, AT A CERTIFIED SHOP. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO DODGE, AND THEY DENIED ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY MODEL, BECAUSE OF KNOWN ISSUES REGARDING ALTERNATORS OVERHEATING, OR SHORT CIRCUITING, CAUSING THERMAL DIODE FATIGUE. THE CAR WAS CONSUMED BY FLAMES WITHIN MINUTES, AND WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT. *BF *TR
