Consumer Description

ON AUGUST 18, 2010 MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC CAUGHT FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY. AT ABOUT 10:30PM I LOOKED OUT MY BEDROOM WINDOW TO SEE IF I PUT THE DRIVER'S WINDOW UP AND DISCOVERED THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. FLAMES WHERE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER/PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR AREA. WHEN I GOT CLOSER TO THE CAR I COULD SEE A CLEAR-YELLOW-ISH FLAME THAT WAS BURNING A WHOLE IN THE FENDER FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I HAD CALLED 911, BUT I WAS NERVOUS ABOUT THE CAR BEING SO CLOSE TO THE HOUSE AND I PUT OUT THE FIRE MYSELF. THE DAMAGE WAS RELATIVELY MINOR AND THE CAR WAS REPAIRED. ORIGINALLY, THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THAT A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS CAUSED THE FIRE. THEY LATER STATED THAT THE CAUSE WAS UNDETERMINED. THERE IS ANOTHER REPORT OF A 2007 CIVIC CATCHING FIRE DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS ON THIS SITE. *TR
