Consumer Description

OUR SON WAS DRIVING OUR 1999 CAMRY ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON AT ONCE-CHECK ENGINE, CHECK OIL, CHECK TIRES. THEN THERE WAS A DING SOUND AND A LOUD POP. THE CAR SHUT OFF. HE WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND EXITED THE CAR. AS HE WENT TO OPEN THE HOOD HE REALIZED IT WAS ON FIRE. HE CALLED 911. THE RESPONDING STATE TROOPER TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE BUT COULDN'T. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED. WE HAVE PROPERLY MAINTAINED OUR CAMRY AT OUR LOCAL GARAGE, WHO HAS THE RECORDS ON FILE. LUCKILY ONLY OBJECTS WERE LOST, OUR SON IS FINE. *TR
