Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, MY CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE. UNABLE TO STOP, I PROCEEDED OFF THE EXIST, AND I COULD HEAR PARTS FALLING OUT. UPON STOPPING, I OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND THE VEHICLE IN FLAMES. AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE MCCAFFERTY HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR SEIZED CAUSING IT TO CATCH ON FIRE. HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT WAS QUITE COOL THAT DAY, I DID NOT HAVE MY AIR CONDITIONER ON.
