The contact took vehicle to a mechanic to have a coil pack replaced. The mechanic said he let the vehicle run for approximately 20 minutes then it was ready to be driven.. all of a sudden vehicle caught on fire under the hood. The fire department was called, they extinguished the fire. The cause of the fire was suspected to be electrical.

Every time I close the car door I recive a electrical shock.I have cloth seats I have asked more than 100 other Intrepid owners and they say the same thing (I work at a parking garage)my concern is for owners who have heart pacemakers and do not know what is happening.
