I CAME OUT OF A STORE AND UPON GETTING IN MY DURANGO I STARTED IT AND NOTICED SMOKE AND SMELLED A BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. THE HOOD WOULDN'T OPEN BECAUSE IT HAD ALREADY BURNED THROUGH THE CABLE THAT ATTACHES THE HOOD RELEASE. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS ON FIRE. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAD IT PUT OUT PRETTY QUICKLY. I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR EXACTLY A YEAR ALMOST TO THE DAY. THE ONLY PROBLEM WE'VE HAD WITH IT IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. WE HAD IT REPLACED AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS SO WE HAD IT CHANGED AGAIN. I DID NOTICE THAT ONE HEADLIGHT WAS BRIGHTER THAN THE OTHER BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST DIFFERENT BULBS. APPARENTLY IT WASN'T.
