Consumer Description

ON JANUARY 28, 2004 MY 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAD JUST LEFT THE CAR AFTER PULLING THE CAR TO THE TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY AND MY WIFE WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE CAR TO GO TO WORK WHEN SHE SAW A FLASH, THEN SMOKE. THE CAR SUBSEQUENTLY BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FORTUNATELY WE WERE NOT INJURED. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY IS DECLARING THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. MY SECOND CAR.... A 1997 SEVILLE STS...ALONG WITH THE AURORA IS MENTIONED IN A REPORT POSTED ON MSNBC ON NOV. 4TH. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS MY LOSS (DEDUCTIBLES), NOR ADDRESS THE LOOMING POTENTIAL FOR THE SAME TO OCCUR WITH THE SEVILLE (IVE REQUESTED AN INSPECTION / REPAIR OF THE FUEL RAIL.) I FIND GMS POSITION EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING THIS INCIDENT. I ALSO HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ENTIRE PROGRESSION OF THE FIRE AND WILL MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO YOU SHOULD YOU WANT THEM.*AK
