Consumer Description

MY SON WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR STARTED SMOKING AND CAUGHT FIRE. IT WAS CLOSE AS WHEN HE GOT OUT THE FRONT DASH STARTED BURNING. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE VIDEO OF IT BURNING AND LISTENING TO MY SON DESCRIBE ALL HIS CLOTHES AND PERSONAL THINGS GOING UP IN FLAMES. I HAVE BEEN WRITING AND WRITING ABOUT THIS WITH EVERY RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVE. AND THAT HAS BEEN A LOT. I ONLY PAID $3000.00 FOR THE CAR BUT FEEL CHEATED TO HAVE LOST IT ALL. AND ALMOST LOST MY SON! MY RECALL # IS 090447. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR BACK FROM SOMEONE ABOUT THIS. MAYBE IT CAN BE RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR AS I HAVE A BUICK IN MY DRIVEWAY NOW. I LIKE THEM, ALWAYS HAVE.
