Driving vehicle on exit 73 in lisbon,md. when acceleration halts and car will not accelerate over 60mph and was steadily decreasing. as i pulled off the exit, the car stalled and the battery light came on, then the engine light and then the transmission light, proceeding was all lights in the car blacked out and the car was only drifting off the exit. as the car stopped and i put it in park, i noticed black smoke and fire submerging in the front of the car with force. i then heard a pop to realize my tires popped from the burning heat of the fire. i exited the vehicle with nothing in tow and in fear of my life in addition to my passenger whom we both left valuable items in the burning car. this seems to fall under a form of defect in which i would like to have investigated and a claim filed as this was a very traumatic experience which i would not want to happen to anyone else.

Purchased a 2000 dodge intrepid from dadeland dodge in miami, fl. the car is qualified for the lemon law 3 months after purchase, but unaware of such a law and never filed. now it is too late. it is now i decided to take action since the engine blew on 04/12/03. my brother in law was driving and the engine just stopped without warning. i called for a tow truck to be taken to the dealer. the car has about 65,000 miles, and the extended warranty should have covered the repairs; however, the dealer declined. i ended up paying $2,714.87 to get the engine rebuilt. in addition, i also don't have a car for 2 months, and disputed with the dealer and extended warranty company during that span. *la
