| Description of the problem | My wife was driving down the road and the engine caught on fire. She was in town doing about 30 mph. The first indication of fire was smoke coming out of the hood. She stopped the car and got out. Another motorist that stopped said flame were coming out of the right front side of the vehicle when my wife was driving down the street. The fire department said the car was totalled. I am waiting on the insurance company to look at the vehicle. The car was purchased in december 2003 - new. *ak |
