The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it is investigating reports of fires starting underneath the driver's seat of some models of the Dodge Durango sport-utility vehicle, the Associated Press reported.

NHTSA said it had received complaints of five vehicle fires starting underneath the driver's seat, three of which happened while the vehicle was parked with the ignition switch off. The vehicles are not equipped with power driver seat adjustments.

There were no injuries associated with the reported fires.
