Consumer Description

MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER JUST ARRIVED AT HER MOTHERS HOUSE, PARKED THE CAR AND CAME INSIDE. WHEN WE STARTED SEEING, AND SMELLING SMOKE. SO WE WENT OUTSIDE TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND SAW SMOKE POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AS IF THERE WAS A FIRE CONTAINED UNDER THE HOOD. SO WE CALLED 911 AND SUDDENLY WE HEARD A LOUD POP AND SAW FLAMES ON THE HOOD. WE PROCEEDED TO GET A WATER HOSE TO POUR WATER ON THE CAR UNTIL FINALLY THE FIREMEN ARRIVED. THE CAR STILL REMAINS IN FRONT OF HER MOTHERS HOUSE, IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR. THE FIREMEN DEEMED IT TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. I WOULD LIKE ANY INFORMATION FOR RECALLS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR
