| Description of the problem | My vehicle caught fire as i proceeded to pull away from a curbside parking space. I turned my wheel to the far left as i proceeded away from the curb and that is when i heard a pop sound, saw white smoke spewing from the front right side of the vehicle, then i saw the flames. Five days prior to the incident, i had front brake pads and resurfaced rotors placed on the vehicle. Within the past 30 days the only other maintenance performed on the vehicle was a standard oil change. |
