| Description of the problem | We had an engine fire. Took it to the dealership in boerne, tx, where they fixed it, but did not report the incident to chrysler. We worry about this happening again, and are not satisfied with their explanation. We fear we may have a safety problem. Chrysler wants us to deal with our insurance co., but they never were involved, except for the rental vehicle while ours was being repaired.*ak |
