at a Washington DC parade..a new Durango (looks like a Hemi engine cover to me) burst into flames...

Ouch...I hope it's an isolated incident.

 

Was it sitting still at the time ? HEMIs get mad when they sit still too long.

 

might be the infamous O-ring in fuel rail failure. Plus...Why'd it take so long to get the dang firemen to come and put it out? Don't they have extinguishers on hand?

 

Looks like Major recall coming soon!

 

There is some kind of fluid dripping under the engine too far up to be a/c condensation.

In the top video, there is a guy shown, twice, with a fire extinguisher and does nothing but carry it around. Looks like he got it from the back seat.

That is the new Durango Heat with optional underhood BBQ grill.

 

I guess it spent the last 2 years in pyro finishing school.

 

It was pulling a float at in a parade. It may have overheated, but that still doesnt explain the fire.

Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts! Durangonero! Durangonero!
