Consumer Description

ON 12OCT2018 WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I NOTICED A CHEMICAL SMELL COMING FROM MY CAR. WITHIN SECONDS, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I REALIZED THAT I HAD NO BRAKES AND THAT FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON IMMEDIATELY EXITING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED FLAMES UNDER THE VEHICLE AND COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. MY CAR BECAME TOTALLY ENGULFED AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. FIREFIGHTERS WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
