CAR CAUGHT FIRE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER MAKING A BACKFIRE NOISE. HAD MY CHILDREN BEEN IN THE CAR IN THEIR CAR SEATS, THEY WOULD HAVE BURNED TO DEATH. THE CAR BURNED SO FAST MY WIFE ONLY HAD TIME TO SLAM IT IN PARK AND JUMP OUT. SHE DID NOT EVEN HAVE TIME TO PULL IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT MELTED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.

CAR WOULD NOT REACH SAFE STARTING SPEED.IT WOULD NOT ACHIVE ANY POWER EVEN WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS WAS A OPERATING HAZARD WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE FIXED THEY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT THE CAR WAS NOT WORKING RIGHT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A MAINTAINANCE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM I HAD A MAJOR TUNE UP DONE.THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL FILTER,THAT CAUSED THE CATALITIC COVERTOR TO FAIL. THEY ALSO AJUSTED THE TIMMING BELT.THIS REPAIR WAS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARANTY.THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE IT WAS MY FAULT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE COST OF THE RENTAL CAR.SO I PAID FOR THE REPAIR $ 50.00 PLUS THE COST OF THE RENTAL FOR THREE DAYS.ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER I TURNED ON MY AIR CONDITIONING THEN I WAS IN STOP AND...
