Consumer Description

OUR TOYOTA 4RUNNER CAUGHT ON FIRE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MY HUSBAND HAD JUST PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, TAKEN OUR 2 SMALL CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR, WHEN WE NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE HOOD WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED. IT TOOK 30-45 MINUTES TO CONTAIN THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOST. *JB
