Consumer Description

WELL I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF RECALL ON THIS SUV THAT I WAS NOT INFORMED OF. MY HUSBAND AND I HAD JUST DROPPED OFF HIS CHILDREN WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO NOT WANT TO RUN AS IF THE TRUCK WAS PULLING BACK ON US. THEN A BAD SMELL CAME IN THE TRUCK AND MY HUSBAND PARKED THE CAR TO CHECK INSIDE THE HOOD. AS HE OPENED THE HOOD A FLAME SHOT OUT AT HIM. I JUMPED OUT THE TRUCK AND INSTANTLY THAT SUV WAS ON FIRE. DOES ANYONE KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THESE TRUCKS CATCHING ON FIRE FOR NO REASON? PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO THAT I CAN INFORM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THANK YOU , NATALIE C. *TR
