Consumer Description

While I was driving, I went to slow down to turn around and my car started smoking and caught fire. It started from under the hood towards the passenger side front closer to the headlight you could just start seeing flames coming from there so I put it in park and hopped out and got as much stuff as I could out of the car. There was no warning signs no lights came on nothing.
