Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 VOLVO XC90 AWD A FROM MY HOME TO WORK(ABOUT 20 MILES) WHEN I WAS PARKING THE CAR ON A PARKING LOT, I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE NEXT MOMENT I SAW A LITTLE FIRE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I STOPPED THE CAR AND GOT OUT. THE FIRE WAS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. BY THE TIME THE FIRE ENGINE ARRIVED THE CAR WAS IN FLAMES, AND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND FELL INSIDE THE CAR. THE FRONT SEATS AND MY PERSONAL PROPERTY WERE BURNED. *JB
