Consumer Description
ON 9/1/16, THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED, TURNED OFF, AND UNOCCUPIED. HALF THE CAR BURNED--TOTAL LOSS. I LEARNED SHORTLY AFTER THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL FOR UNDER HOOD FIRES--DO I HAVE ANY WAY TO RECOVER MY LOSSES FROM GM? I ONLY HAD LIABILITY COVERAGE, SO THERE WON'T BE ANY INSURANCE MONEY.
