Description of the problem | My 2015 buick encore caught fire in my driveway when my wife returned home from town. It was parked and she had just exited the vehicle and walked to the back to attempt to get groceries out. She smelled smoke and looked through the car toward the windshield and could see flames and smoke coming from under the hood. |
