Consumer Description

AFTER TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL WHICH IS 2.2 MILES AWAY, CAME BACK HOME AND PARKED THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE BAY. BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, CAR GAVE OFF "HEATER SMELL" AND THE HEATER WAS TURNED OFF. MY WIFE CAME UP AND GOT ME UP, I WENT DOWN MAYBE 2 MINUTES AWAY AND FOUND THE CAR FULLY ENGULFED IN FIRE. FIRE SPREAD TO THE PORTION OF THE GARAGE BEFORE IT WAS PUT OF BY FIRE DEPARTMENT. *TR
