Consumer Description

I WENT TO PICK UP MY GRANDSON WHO LIVES APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE AWAY, DROVE BACK HOME MAKING IT 2 MILES. UPON PARKING IN THE DRIVEWAY WE BOTH SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE IGNITION WAS SWITCHED OFF. UPON OPENING THE HOOD I DISCOVERED THE FUSE BOX SMOLDERING AND MELTING AWAY, SO I QUICKLY USED A WRENCH TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TERMINALS. BEFORE DOING SO I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL ON BUT GROWING DIMMER BY THE MINUTE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN DRIVABLE CONDITION.
