| Description of the problem | I was driving along the 805 freeway when my airconditioner lights started flashing. Shortly thereafter all the lights started coming on the dash board. Then i lost power to the engine and brakes. All power was lost. I had to merge on to the 8 west freeway and i was lucky to be able to use my handbrake to slow down and come to rest on the shoulder. After exiting the vehicle, we could smell burning and then noticed there was flames coming from under the front right tire area coming from under the engine. The car then was quickly engulfed by flames and destroyed. |
