Description of the problem	My wife had been driving the truck shopping. Before she returned home she stopped at our daughters house. The truck was parked at the curbside and was shut off. She had been in the house just a few minutes when the horn started blowing from melt down and they looked out window and saw the engine area in flames and smoke. The battle creek, mi. Fire dept. Was called to put out the fire. Per state farm ins. Investigation they determined that a hose had come off of the power steering and sprayed on to the hot engine causing it to go up in flames. We do not have any reports in hand, but the claims contact is paul 1-616-372-4041, at state farm ins. We do want this investigated, however my wife does not want anything done until the dealership/chrysler has tried to make a settlement with us prior to stirring up any problems. Thank you, james s. Kilburn. If you need to contact her at work her name is nancy kilburn, @1-517-2396 x-226.
