Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE HOLIDAYS AND THE TRIP WAS ABOUT AN HOUR LONG ON A MAJOR HWY. PARKED TRUCK OUTSIDE OF GARAGE, TOOK SOME ITEMS IN THE HOUSE AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. POPPED THE HOOD RELEASE AND TRIED TO OPEN THE HOOD, BUT BURNED MY HAND. I RAN INSIDE TO CALL 911 AND THE MINUTE THE DOOR CLOSED, THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION AND FLAMES WERE UNDER THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE AND UNDER THE HOOD.
