Consumer Description
I LEASED A NISSAN ALTIMA 2007 FIVE MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 7000 MILES ON IT WHEN LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING ON THE NJ PARKWAY AND MY ACCELERATOR WOULDN'T WORK, SO I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER DODGING CARS ALONG THE WAY. AT THIS POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I REACHED THE SHOULDER I COULD SEE FLAMES UNDER MY HOOD. WITHIN TEN MINUTES THE ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND HAD SEVERAL SMALL EXPLOSIONS. PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND OUT WHAT I CAN DO. SINCE THIS I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 30 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CAR AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE CAR DEALER THEY TRIED TO ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT. *JB
