| Description of the problem | My car caught fire and was totaled. I had been smelling something the day before it caught on fire. I was driving on the city street and i smelled the smell i had been smelling stronger and i looked at the hood and it was smoking. I pulled over and more smoking started pouring out from my car. Then the dashboard went off. I got out and called 911 and by the time they got there the front of my car was on fire. After it was put out the fire had burned through just about everything under the hood. |
