Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH WHEN MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND RADIO/DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT. I FELT THE CAR STALL AND LOSE POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND STOP ON AN OFF RAMP. I THEN SMELLED AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD BUT COULD NOT FIND EXACTLY WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THEN DISCOVERED IN THE MORNING THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRES UNDER THE FUSE BOX CAUGHT FIRE. THE FUSE BOX WAS DAMAGED PRETTY SEVERELY AND THE CAR IS INOPERABLE. *TR
