Description of the problem | I purchased a 2013 chevy cruze in june, 2013. In november of the same year, i struck a deer on a rural stretch of interstate highway at high speed (70mph). At this point there were roughly 9,000 miles on it. The air bags did not deploy, but i was unharmed. The impact caused the vehicle to do a 180 degree roll onto the shoulder, at which point i exited the vehicle to see the area near the battery smoking with a small flame coming out of it. Within minutes, and before emergency vehicles could arrive the front of the car was fully engulfed in flames. |
