Consumer Description
was driving on the highway to a friends house, while i was driving a another vehicle was telling me to pull over and that there was smoke and fire underneath the car, i pulled over and crossed the bridge where there was light, once i got across i got out of the car and saw fire coming from the hood, i tried to put it out and that didn't work, so the good Samaritan who told me to pull over told me to get my son and get in her car because there was no way to save the car. As soon as we drove away the car exploded not even two mins later. insurance has inspected and claimed it a total loss, they didn't state how the fire started besides it is a total loss, now the car is totaled, insurance is paying part of it and i am working on the gap coverage to get them all the information we need and since the loan is more than what the care is worth i have no money to finance another vehicle or able to get financing especially since interest rates are so high. I have attached some pictures, it started in the engine is what it seems, once got out of the car, looked underneath and there was something leaking underneath, lost baby stuff, carseat base, stroller, formula just got earlier in the day, diapers damaged. alot was smoke damaged that was in the trunk.
