Consumer Description

ON MARCH 11, 2018 I BACKED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND PARKED NEXT TO MY PORCH. BEFORE GOING INTO THE HOUSE, MY GRANDSON TOLD ME TO LOOK AT THE CAR WHICH WAS SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD. WITHIN SECONDS THE SMOKE TURNED DARK GRAY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED IN 3 MINUTES. I COULD SEE FIRE UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE ON THE BOTTOM AT THE DRIVEWAY. THE FRONT DOOR WINDOWS WERE BUSTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE ON THE DASHBOARD, TOO.
