I HAVE A 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY, THAT WAS PURCHASED AUGUST 2009. I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE POMOCO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN NEWPORT NEWS, VA AROUND 4:30PM. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BATTERY GOING DEAD SINCE AROUND NOVEMBER. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS, AND ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I LATER FIGURED OUT THAT IT SEEMED TO BE HAPPENING WHENEVER I LEFT THE RADIO OR TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN THE ON POSITION; SO I'VE BEEN KEEPING THOSE CONTROLS IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER REALIZING I LEFT MY WALLET IN THE CAR. AFTER ARRIVING, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER HOURS. THE CAR HAS FIRE UNREPAIRABLE FIRE DAMAGE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND SMOKE DAMAGE ON THE INSIDE TO THE BACK. THE FLAMES APPARENTLY GOT SO HIGH THAT IT BLEW OUT THREE OF THE FRONT WINDOWS! *TR
