Consumer Description
A few months ago there was a recall on my car (some problem with starter engine) and after few month I started the engine by pressing the brake pedal and pressing the start button. But the engine did not start, I saw smoke from under the hood, then I opened the hood and saw fire near the engine on the right (driver's) side. People in the parking lot helped put out the fire with a fire extinguisher while I called 911 for fire department, they came and recorded it (fire slip -[XXX]), [XXX}., Houston, Texas, 77043 (place where it happened). I have pictures and videos this incident. We were afraid that we would die in this car. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
