Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2003 JEEP LIBERTY IN TRAFFIC APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. SHE BUMPED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER TRAVELING AT ABOUT 10 MPH. IT WAS SUCH A MINOR BUMP THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SHE BARELY HAD ENOUGH TIME TO ESCAPE. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS AND THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BURNT OUT INSIDE. *NM
