Hello good morning I have a serious situation. On April 20, 2022, my 2014 Dodge minivan caught fire at 3:00 a.m. Yes. no explanation. After searching the internet I realized that the same thing has happened to many people with these cars. Look on the official Dodge website, make a claim and they gave me an appointment to see my car on May 24 at Triangle Chrysler in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Later I called today May 27, 2022 to see the result of the investigation and they say that they are not responsible and they do not give me any other explanation. My van is a total loss, everything burned inside. I feel very sad and disappointed as the fire started inside the car in the middle of the morning and it is exactly the same as the recall of this car says. I don't have insurance that covers those damages, nor do I have money to buy another one. I lost everything. I need immediate help. …

My family and I were on a hike in the mountains, and when we got back to our car, the drivers headrest had popped out of itself. We tried to see if we could fix it, but it busted out with such force that it broke parts. When I looked this up, it appears that this is a pretty common occurrence with our make and model, and others have actually had it happen when they are in the seat and been injured! Thank God we weren't driving through the mountains when it happened! This is a serious issue and I couldn't believe that nothing had been done to create a recall, especially after finding a report about the same issue with the same vehicle online from October 2019 (almost FOUR years ago) by [redacted] , stating that the government was researching this issue after several people were injured. …
