| I was driving down 1994 and the engine compartment caused a huge fire. melting all the wiring and destroying the truck. the detroit firedepartment was called and the truck is a total loss. my insurance company will not pay for it because i had basic coverage. i did not know it was a recall. i was never contacted. i bought the car in 1993 after the recall. i bought it from a dealer you would think they would have fixed it. luckily the police and fire were close and they put it out before it blew up. the freeway was closed for a while after this happened. do i have any recourse to make dodge repair this? it has been sitting for 1 year and i could not afford to fix it. i am not sure of the exact date but it was a week. *ak | |||
