Consumer Description

I DROVE THE 2007 NISSAN SENTRA FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS WITH ALMOST NO ISSUES EXCEPT THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON." I TOOK IT TO THE DEAL FOR THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCES AND HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES, AND USED PREMIUM GAS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60MPH, THE CAR STALLED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER. IT WAS A VERY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. RECENTLY I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THE BRAKE FLUID LEAK. I KNOW THAT FLUID AND ELECTRICITY DO NOT MIX, SO IT MAY VERY WELL HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. *TR
