Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE SO I PULLED OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. I THEN SAW SMOKE LIKE THE ENGINE HAD OVERHEATED BUT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS FLAMES IGNITED AND I QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CALLED 911. AS I WAS SPEAKING TO THE DISPATCHER THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THE WHOLE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE MY HOOD WAS TOTALLY BURNED UP THE ENGINE IS BURNED UP AND MELTED AND THE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW BLEW OUT AND THE DASH AND FRONT INTERIOR IS BURNED AND MELTED. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT IN TIME BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY. I AM ALSO GLAD MY 10 MONTH OLD SON WAS NOT WITH ME ON THIS DAY. *TR
