Consumer Description

DROVE CAR FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES ON FREEWAY THEN PARKED IN A BANK PARKING LOT. TURNED CAR OFF AND WENT INTO BANK. ALL INDICATIONS ON DASH WHERE FINE THAT DAY AND CAR DROVE JUST FINE. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, SOME ONE CAME INTO THE OFFICE I WAS AT AND ASKED IF ANYONE IN HERE HAS A BLACK GRAND PRIX. I WENT OUT AND FOUND THAT BLACK SMOKE AND FIRE WAS COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE PASSENGERS' SIDE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD ALREADY BEEN CALLED. CAR THEN TRIED TO START ITSELF.
