Consumer Description

MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND HE WAS AT A FRIENDS HOUSE WHEN THEY NOTICED SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THEY OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE.. THEY WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A 2 LITER BOTTLE OF SODA NEARBY AND MANAGED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. HOWEVER NOT BEFORE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC WHO FIXED IT, THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THE OIL CAUGHT ON FIRE POSSIBLY BY ARCING OF SPARK PLUGS?? I HAD OVER $300.00 IN DAMAGES. I JUST HEARD TODAY THAT THESE WERE RECALLED.. 04/14/09.. REPAIRED PARTS WERE SPARK PLUG WIRES, OIL DIPSTICK, OIL COVER.. THE ENGINE COVER IS STILL MELTED AND SMOKE DAMAGE IS STILL APPARENT UNDER THE HOOD. *TR
