Consumer Description

MY SON WAS DRIVING WHEN HE NOTICED SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HE PULLED OVER AND FLAMES ENGULFED THE FRONT OF THE CAR . IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AL HIS BELONGINGS WERE INSIDE AS HE WAS MOVING TO COLLEGE. I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS MATTER IN THE MAIL. VIN # AND REASON MATCHES MY CAR. I HAD LIABILITY INSURANCE ONLY SO I LOST EVERYTHING. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE PARKING LOT DAMAGE ALSO. MY SON WAS NOT INJURED THANKS TO HIS QUICK THINKING AND GOD. I PAID $3000.00 FOR THE CAR. WE STILL TRUST G.M. BUT WOULD LIKE THEM TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER WITH ME. THANK YOU, *TR
