Consumer Description

THE VERIZON VEHICLE HAD AN UNDERHOOD FIRE WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT AT THE EMPLOYEES HOUSE. THE TRUCK IS A TOTAL-LOSS. THE FIRE APPEARS TO HAVE ORIGINATED IN THE ABS MODULE AREA. THE FIRE DESTROYED MOST OF THE UNDERHOOD AREA, THE FRONT OF THE VAN BODY, THE DASHBOARD AND STEERING COLUMN, THE WINDSHEILD, AND THE HEADLINER. VERIZON HAS HAD SIMILAR FIRES IN THIS MODEL VAN AND FEELS THAT THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION THAT WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. *AK
