| Description of the problem | I got an oil change and an inspection the inspection report was good, no major mechanical issues. Only recommendation was a power steering flush next time i came in for an oil change. I drove the van home 1/2 mile away. I parked the van. I saw light smoke coming from under the hood on the passenger side. It smelled like burnt rubber. I proceeded to drive back to shop 1/4 mile away. The van lost all power at a stop sign. I saw more darker smoke coming out. I got out of the van immediately. Within 2 minutes the vans front end was in flames. |
