Consumer Description

THE MUFFLER MELTED THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE AFTER 2 HOURS ON THE ROAD WITH NO INDICATION. WE MANAGED TO PUSH MUFFLER DOWN AND IT STOPPED MELTING THE PLASTIC. WE STOPPED FOR GAS AND SAW THE DAMAGE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE MUFFLER WAS STUCK IN THE UPWARD POSITION BEFORE THE TRIP SO IT WAS NOT A CONCERN UNTIL WE STOPPED. WE WERE ON INTERSTATE 25 SOUTHBOUND RIGHT OUT OF ALBUQUERQUE, NM.
