Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY TO MY JOB AND I MAY A FULL STOP ON A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE STOP SO I PROCEEDED TO CHECK THE CONTROL PANEL TO VIEW ANY ANORMAL SIGNAL. AFTERWARDS I TURNED THE IGNITION ON AND PUT THE CAR ON DRIVE, I TURNED RIGHT ON THE INTERSECTION . AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 100 FEET THE ENGINE STOPPED AGAIN AND WHEN I TRY TO TURNED IT ON THERE WAS A BIG EXPLOSION AND A BIG FLAME CAME OUT FROM THE ENGINE. INMEDIATEDLY I GOT OUT FROM THE CAR AND SOME PASSBYERS CALLED THE POLICE AND FIREMEN. UP TO THIS MOMENT I LACK KNOWLEDGE OF WHY THIS OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOST. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFOR MATION ABOUT THIS OR ANY SIMIILAR ACCIDENTS OF THIS CAR'S TRADEMARK AND MODEL.*AK
