Consumer Description

I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND IN PARK WHILE I WENT IN THE HOUSE TO GET SOMETHING. I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. I LOOKED OUTSIDE AND MY CAR WAS IN FLAMES. THE HOOD WAS BLOWN OFF AND NOW THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF MY CAR. THE FIRE CHIEF SAID THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FUEL INJECTOR LINE AND ALSO SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE FIREWALL AREA. I WAS TI SHAKEN UP TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING. NOW I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO FIND OUT IF THIS WAS IN FACT A DEFECT IN THE CAR OR WHAT. CAN YOU HELP?
