Consumer Description
2006 NISSAN ALTIMA CAUGHT ON FIRE, JUNE 8, 2011. MY SON WAS DRIVING FROM WORK TO HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AND ORANGE SPARKS WAS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR, SO HE PULLED OVER ON THE MEDIAN. WHEN HE PROCEEDED TO LIFT UP THE HOOD OF THE CAR, BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE HOOD AND HE AND OTHER DRIVERS CALLED 911. ACCORDING TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, OIL AND OTHER FLUIDS WERE COMING FROM THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON FIRE. MY SON IS OK, BUT I CAN NOT GET ANY HELP WITH THIS CAR.
