Consumer Description

MY CAR STARTED JUMPING FORWARD WHILE IN PARK AND JUMPING WHILE DRIVING. ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AFTER DOING THAT I WAS DRIVING WHEN A HUGE CLOUD OF SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, IT WAS ON FIRE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. THE FIRE DEPT CAME AND EVENTUALLY PUT THE FIRE OUT. EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD IS TOTALED, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED, THE WHOLE INTERIOR SMELLS OF BURNT RUBBER FROM THE TIRES BEING BURNT AND ALL WIRES THROUGHOUT THE CAR ARE SHOT. *JB
