| Description of the problem | After pulling out of my driveway and drive less than 1000 ft the car filled with smoke turned in flames and fire and then burnt to the ground. Mbz did an inspection and informed me there was no fault with the vehicle. They refuted and denied everything i told them and stated they had no evidence of anything i described. They refused to tell me how the fire started. They would show me the report, the fuse boxes appeared to be melted yet they said they were intact and did not cause the fire. So it must have been and act of god? The would not pay any medical bills nor replace the vehicle. It was on a city street, fire and police came |
