Consumer Description

THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE BY ITSELF, A CAR ONLY WITH 13,000 MILES AND 1 YEAR OF USAGE THAT MEANS ALMOST BRAND NEW CAR. I DROVE 9 MILES APROX. FROM HOME TO MY WORK LOCATION. WHEN I ARRIVE AND PARK THE CAR BEFORE GOING UPSTAIRS, I SAW THE CAR BLOWING UNUSUAL SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, I OPENED THE HOOD AND I SAW THE FIRE WAS COMING BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE RADIATOR. I CALL THE 911 AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED THEY TRIED TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER BUT THE FIRE STARTED GETTING OUT OF CONTROL, FORCING THEM TO USE THE WATER HOSE TO STOP THE FIRE. HONDA IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND NO BODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED
