Consumer Description

CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AND CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. IT HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE. IF WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL IT OUT OF THE GARAGE WITH MY HUSBAND'S TRUCK, THE HOUSE WOULD HAVE BURNT AS WELL. WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE, BUT FLAMES WERE COMING UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE HOOD WAS BUCKLING BECAUSE IT WAS SO HOT. IT WAS VERY SCARY!
