Consumer Description

WHILE WAITING FOR MY WIFE TO COME OUT OF A STORE WITH TRUCK RUNNING I NOTICED A LIGHT FLICKERING IN THE STORE WINDOW. MY WIFE CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND GOT INTO THE TRUCK. WHILE BACKING OUT I NOTICED THE FLICKERING LIGHT IN THE WINDOW COMING WITH ME. WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK I NOTICED SMOKE COMING UP OVER MY HOOD THEN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO GET WARM. I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT I THINK MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, WENT TO THE FRONT AND SAW THE CONDENSER FAN MOTOR ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A CAN OF COKE THAT WAS ON THE GROUND. A LITTLE WHILE LATER IT FLAMED UP AGAIN AND HAD TO GET A BUCKET OF WATER FROM THE STORE CLERK. THE FIRE CAUSED OVER $4100.00 IN DAMAGE. I HAD A RECALL ON THIS CONDENSER FAN MOTOR, HAD IT TAKEN CARE OF IN FEBRUARY 2012. CAUGHT FIRE ON 09/02/2013. *TR
