Consumer Description

MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD HAD THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AC FILTER, AND OIL CHANGED BY THE HONDA DEALER. AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP FROM THE HONDA DEALER, IT WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, WHILE COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR BURST INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED AND EXTINGUISHED THE BLAZE. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS A FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM.
