Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS BURNT ON HIGHWAY WEEK AGO. ALL MY FAMILIES WERE ON THE CAR THAT TIME. I CALLED THE POLICE OFFICE, THE POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE IN 10 MINS. 2 DAYS LATER, AFTER WE CHECKED THE CAR WITH THE INVESTIGATORS FROM THE FIRE DEPT., THEY FOUND THAT THERE ARE 2 HOLES ON THE ENGINE, THE OIL SPRAYED OUT AND TOUCHED THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AREA INSIDE THE CAR SO THE FIRE HAPPENED! *TR
