Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING. AND, SMOKE BEGAN TO COME FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND I PARKED THE CAR IN FRONT OF A STORE.. I OPENED THE HOOD AND A MIST OF SMOKE WAS FLOWING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS GOING TO GO UP IN FLAMES BECAUSE IT SMELLED LIKE BURNING WIRES. I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR EVERYDAY SO I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I ALSO SAW OIL LEAKING FROM THE MANIFOLD. I ASKED MY BROTHER TO SEE IT AND THAT'SWHAT HE TOLD ME. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR HOME. I DROVE IT SLOWLY HOME. *TR
