Consumer Description

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 68K MILES 2005 CHEVY IMPALA. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT FOR THE 8 HRS. MY WORK HOURS ENDED AND I STARTED THE CAR TO PROCEED HOME. I PRESSED THE SUNROOF SWITCH TO MAKE IT AUTOMATICALLY OPEN. IT DID NOT OPEN. SMOKE STARTED TO FILL THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND I NOTICED A FLICKER COMING FROM THE HEADLINER. IT WAS A FLAME. I TAPPED THE HEADLINER TO MAKE IT GO OUT AND EXITED THE CAR AND REMOVED MY KEYS FROM THE IGNITION UPON EXITING. *TR
