| Description of the problem | Early am on 6/1/10 i was driving to my cabin in the country and heard a soft popping sound, stopped my car and smoke began flowing out all opening around the hood, when i looked under the car i saw fire falling to the road. I went to the passenger side and opened the door only to find that area filled with toxic fumes, shutting the door i realized all was hopeless except to get away from the vehicle. Within seconds my car was engulfed in flames. I ran as fast as i could to get help. Had i been less alert, inactive, less proactive i would have probably died. The car was purchased new in nov, 2008 and had a little over 10,000 miles. There was no smell of fuel or another strange odor. The car was burned totally, with nothing remaining except the steel frame. |
