Consumer Description

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AFTER DRIVING TO TOWN AND BACK. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER MY BOYFRIEND HEARD A POP SOUND FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE. WHEN HE LOOKED OUTSIDE THE CAR WAS ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO HELP PUT OUT THE FIRE. CAR WAS COMPLETELY BURNED UNDER THE HOOD, TIRES/FRONT PART OF CAR WERE ALSO BURNED. DAMAGE WAS A TOTAL LOSS, ENGINE WAS BURNING SO HOT IT WAS WHITE. NEARLY CAUSED A HOUSE FIRE AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. CAR HAD SOME OIL LEAKAGE IN ENGINE/MANIFOLD AREA BUT RECALL WAS FIXED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO FOR THIS ISSUE. CAR WAS IN GOOD CONDITION AND NO SERIOUS PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS FIRE OCCURRED. *TR
