| Description of the problem | Was driving with low speed when i heard the car alarm and heavy smoke started to show from under the hood. I had no full coverage on the truck so i had to take chance to open the hood and remove the battery cable before the whole car goes on fire. Was lucky this is didn't happen while i am driving on the freeway. The technician said that the fuse box was caught on fire. |
