Consumer Description

W AS DRIVING CAR AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. FIRE STARTED UNDERNEATH NEAR THE MANIFOLD AND IT BURNT ALL THE WIRING AND EVERYTHING AROUND IT. I GOT THE FIRE OUT MYSELF WITH FIRE EXTENGISHER. I ONLY CARRIED LIABILITY SO I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO FIX IT, AND IT WENT TO A JUNK YARD. APPRASIAL VALUE WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND 1,500. I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM,OR I WOULD HAVE TOOK PICTURES AND HAD A ESTIMATE DONE. THIS HAPPENED LAST MARCH AND I GRADUATED IN MAY AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SAY ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE.WHEN THE FIRE STARTED I WAS DRIVING AND HAD JUST STARTED UP FROM A STOP SIGN.
