Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND AND I GOT INTO MY MONTE CARLO SS 2001 TO LEAVE WORK ON A COOL DAY AND IT DIDN'T START SO WE TRIED AFEW MORE TIMES TO START IT. I STARTED SCREAMING THE CARS ON FIRE, FLAMES AND HEAT HIT THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE HOOD SO WE JUMPED OUT AND MY HUSBAND OPENED IT.THE FIRE BURNED HIS HAIR AND HE BACKED OFF AND CALLED 911. I GRABBED MY PURSE AND RAN TOWARD THE SHOP WE WORK AT AND THE CAR MADE A LOUD BOOM THAT SCARED ME SO BAD I FLEW INTO THE BUILDING AND HURT MY BACK. A COP PUT THE FIRE OUT AND THEN THE FIRE ENGINE DID THE REST. THE FRONT OF MY CAR IS A MESS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY. I LOVED MY CAR AND FEEL THIS IS NOT OK. SHOULDN'T GM REPLACE IT OR ATLEAST PAY SOMETHING? MY INSURANCE COMPANY WONT GIVE ME WHAT I HAD INTO IT, SO WHAT NOW? *TR
