Description of the problem	On 11/30/13 i drove my car to town. When i returned home, my family and i decided to go do some christmas shopping, mainly for yard decorations. Instead of driving my car, we took our other vehicle. We were gone approx 2 hrs. When we returned home, i entered the house with my son and turned the tv on for him and proceeded to fix a plate for supper, which took maybe 15 mins. I put the plate in the microwave and heard the horn blow, like the alarm went off, on my car. I went to the door to discover that there were flames inside the car. I called 911 while my husband ran out to try and extinguish the fire, which he managed to do before the fire dept arrived. I reported the incident to chrysler, who reported back to me that they are denying it is a mechanical issue. The fire investigator for metlife reports that his findings show there was a short under the passenger seat which just smoldered until a spark ignited some papers in the floorboard. A few days before this happened, i started to work and the control panel on my car had completely locked up. I had to stop and restart my car more than once before the panel unfroze. The only other problem i had prior to this incident was that a message started showing up that the key was not detected while i was in the car. The incidents could be totally unrelated but was advised to mention it just in case.
