Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND PROCEEDED TO SLOW DOWN AS I DID I HEARD A LOUD NOISE I CONTINUED DRIVING ABOUT 3 MILES WHEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR PROCEEDED TO IGNITE ON FIRE AND BURNED BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT THERE. I HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH CAR BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. *TR
