Consumer Description

THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN ON A TRIP OF APPROXIMATELY 450 MILES AND WAS THEN PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHERE IT SAT WITHOUT BEING ENTERED, CRANKED OR DRIVEN FOR 2 WEEKS. AT AROUND MIDNIGHT, WHILE MY FAMILY WAS SLEEPING, A NEIGHBOR CAME BEATING ON OUR DOOR TO TELL US THAT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. AT THAT POINT, THE FIRE WAS COMPLETELY INVOLVED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR, WITH SMOKE GETTING INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. THE FRONT TIRES MELTED TO THE GROUND. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY MOVE ANOTHER CAR PARKED NEARBY BUT IT HAD SLIGHT PAINT BLISTERING ON THE BODY NEAREST THE FIRE DUE TO THE HEAT. *JS
