 Description of the problemThe 2012 journey was being used to jumpstart a 1997 f 350 ford truck. The f 350 was not running while the journey was. Jumper cables were attached correctly. The women jumping the car went into the house for a moment when she heard an explosion and the roar of the fire. The entire front of the car was engulfed in flames. The windshield was blow out and flames reached 12 feet into the air. After the fire truck put out the blaze, the hood had vaporized . The car was reported as a total loss by the insurance company. The heat from the fire was so intense it ignited the f 350. It too was declared a total loss. I do not know the cause of the explosion in the journey. The fire captains report states the origin of the fire was the 2012 dodge journey. I believe that this has happened before. I also believe that serious injury or death would occur if a person is nearby or sitting in the vehicle.
