Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-4 WHEN CAR SEEM TO LOSE POWER, SO I TOOK NEXT AVAILABLE EXIT. I SHUT THE IGNITION OFF, HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A BACKFIRE. AT THAT MOMENT OF SHUT OFF SMOKE STARTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD, BOTH SIDES AND THEN INTO THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. I AND PASSERBY'S TRIED TO EXTINGUISH FIRE BUT IT WAS TO HOT AND HOPELESS. FIRE DEPT. ARRIVED VERY QUICKLY BUT THE FRONT OF MY CAR IS COOKED. PLEASE HELP ME, THE CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY RIGHT TO THAT POINT! I NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER FIRES. THIS MUST BE A DEFECT, THANK YOU MERRY KNUTSON
