Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX THAT I'VE LOVED AND HAD FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 6 YEARS. AND 10-15 MINUTES AFTER PARKING IN MY DRIVEWAY 3 FEET AWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND HISS OUTSIDE TO FIND SMOKE & FLAMES SHOOTING FROM THE HOOD! I HAD TO CALL 911 TO PUT OUT FIRE AND WAS SCARED TO DEATH MY JUST FILLED GAS TANK WOULD IGNITE AND BLOW UP THE CAR AND OUR HOUSE RIGHT NEXT TO IT! I ONLY HAVE LIABILITY SO INSURANCE CAN'T DO A THING. IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL AND I'M INVESTIGATING HOW AND WHY THIS HAPPENED. I WAS LUCKY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AS I WAS JUST DRIVING IT. THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS BURNT UP. THERE IS NO REPAIRING WHAT HAPPENED. EVERYTHING PLASTIC IS MELTED AND GONE AND EVERYTHING IS FRIED. *KB
