| Description of the problem | On saturday morning at 845am at a laundry place my vehicle was parked. Next thing we hear a loud noise coming from outside the laundrymat place.. My vehicle was smoking from the hood toward the dash board and then i could not even open the door with the key or the alarm button.. So a friend broke the driver window and then tried to stop the fire from spreading but was not successful.. I tried to get my belongs but either. My vehicle has been maintain in good service at the nissan dealer. I only had it for aprox 1yr nothing was wrong with my car until that day for some reason i don't know it caught on fire.. I think these vehicle need to be check out.. Cause maybe if my kids where inside i believe they would have some burn scars on them ,because the stupid door could not be open with the or the alarm key... |
