Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK TO THE BANK TO MAKE THE DAILY DEPOSITS, WHEN I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE IN THE BANK PARKING LOT I NOTICED A LOT OF SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER MY HOOD, I IMMEDIATELY GOT THE OUTSIDE SECURITY GUARD TO COME TAKE A LOOK AND WHEN HE RAISED THE HOOD MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. IF YOU ARE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CAR LOOKING IN IT WOULD BE THE LEFT SIDE, HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO CAME AND PUT IT OUT, MY CAR IS NOW SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
