Description of the problem	This is the second time i am writing to report a vehicle engine fire while at a complete stop involving my wife's 2010 nissan altima hybrid at the intersection of rte 231 & i-495 service rd (e/b) in suffolk county, ny. Nissan was contacted, as well as my insurance carrier, met life, and oth sent independent arson investigators to examine the vehicle and identify a cause/origin of the spontaneous ignition while at a complete stop. Met life's investigator found nothing pointing to the maintenance or operation of the vehicle which would have caused or contributed to this spontaneous ignition. Nissan sent their investigator, whom in conjunction with the insurance investigator, identified the component failure as a wiirng harness near or associated with the power steering system. Nissan has contacted me stating they ".... Conducted a detailed inspection of the vehicle and found no evidence of product problem, failure or malfunction that may have caused or contributed to the incident". If the insurance carrier ... Which paid me.... Absolved the maintenance and operation as causation of ignition (and they have a reason to find my maintenance or operation at fault to absolve them financially) and identified a wrining component/system as the cause/origin of the ignition, how can nissan so blatantly absolve themselves from any liability?? There is no maintenenace recommended with this system or component, and as such is an implied warranty by nissan. I am now in debt having to purchase a new vehicle which is considerably less than what the insurance book value of the destroyed altima (burned up at a complete stop!). My wife almost was trapped in the inferno. Nissan is accepting no liability, product warranty or responsibility for their product. Please investigate asap as every nissan owner is potentially at risk! Thank you.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
