The cab of the car the car got smoky and the heater quit. My car then froze up. We had it checked out and the water pump, timing belt and transitioning rod all blew. I contacted my dealer but the car was past warranty so they didn't care. I then contacted Chrysler who told me they had never heard of such a happening and I was totally on my own.
