Consumer Description

I JUST RECIEVED MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT SHOCKLEY HONDA IN FREDERICK MARYLAND ON MY HONDA CRV. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 2 MILES MY CAR STARTED TO SMOKE OUT THE BACK. WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, FLAMES SHOUT THE HOOD OF MY VEHICLE. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE DEALER DID REPLACE SOME OF THE BURNT PARTS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS. HAD TO BUY A NEW CRV BECAUSE OF THIS DAMAGE. I HAD SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSES NOT REMIMBURSED BY HONDA. *AK
