| Description of the problem | The car had been parked 6:30 p. M. In private driveway. At 2:20 a. M. I was alerted by my neighbor . He had seen through the woods a fire, called the fire dept. He thought our house was on fire and ran over to see if we were ok. It was not our house but our 2015 nissan rogue. When he woke us the car was totally engulfed in flames. The fire dept arrived minutes later and it took awhile to put the fire totally out. Nothing remains of the car except the framing. I had purchased this car six months earlier with 20,000 miles. It had just turned 30,000 miles. There was no sign anything was amiss, no warning lights, odd sounds, nothing. We live in a rural area, wooded miles off the main road so i do not suspect this was done by human hands. I can only image this was some sort of electrical short that was slowly simmering for hours. The car had only been driven home (20 mile trip) and parked. The fire occurred 8 hours later. There was nothing flammable around the car. I fully believe the car self ignited during the eve. I called nissan to report this before i even called my insurance agent. I asked for an investigation. If this car had been parked in the garage i could have also lost my home and my family. I doubt this is an isolated incident, and i fear others my not be so fortunate as to loose only the car and no other damages. The car has been taken away and is to be investigated march 23,2018. *tt |
