Consumer Description

AFTER STARTING MY CAR BEFORE WORK IN THE MORNING, THE DRIVERS STEERING COLUMN/DASH AREA BURST INTO FLAMES THAT WERE BRIGHT BLUE/WHITE IN COLOR AND UNABLE TO EXTINGUISH. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT STATED AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE DRIVERS DASH AREA OR STEERING COLUMN. THIS FIRE ENGULFED MY ENTIRE CAR VERY QUICKLY, AND NEARLY BURNT DOWN MY HOUSE! THE CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY ABOUT 6 FEET FROM MY HOME. AS IT WAS BURNING, I HEARD THE ENGINE KEEP RESTARTING ITSELF AS IF SOMETHING WAS GOING ON WITH THE IGNITION CYLINDER OR SYSTEM. IT WAS STATIONARY. PLEASE HELP!
