Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING WITH LOW SPEED WHEN I HEARD THE CAR ALARM AND HEAVY SMOKE STARTED TO SHOW FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I HAD NO FULL COVERAGE ON THE TRUCK SO I HAD TO TAKE CHANCE TO OPEN THE HOOD AND REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLE BEFORE THE WHOLE CAR GOES ON FIRE. WAS LUCKY THIS IS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE FUSE BOX WAS CAUGHT ON FIRE. *TR
