Consumer Description

I WAS JUST DRIVING THROUGH MY HOME TOWN WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I THEN PROCEEDED TO THE GAS STATION LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY AND WHEN PULLING IN I FELT THE CAR BEGIN TO LOSE POWER AND "MISS". WHEN I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION I OPENED THE HOOD IMMEDIATELY AND SAW THE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, I THEN WENT INTO THE GAS STATION AND GOT A BUCKET OF WATER AND PUT OUT THE FLAMES. AT THIS TIME TOTAL DAMAGE IS UNKNOWN HOWEVER I CAN TELL YOU THAT SEVERAL PLASTIC PIECES WERE DAMAGED ALONG WITH WIRING AND THE CAR HOOD FROM THE HEAT. *TR
