Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER ALERTED ME THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE COMING FROM UNDER MY CAR. I PULLED OVER INTO AN EMPTY LOT AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR I SAW FLAMES FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. I STEPPED BACK AND WITHIN MINUTES THE ENTIRE FRONT ENGINE WAS CONSUMED WITH FLAMES.
