Description of the problem | I drove this vehicle to work and parked it in a parking structure at 8:00 in the morning. By 4:00 in the afternoon, the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The vehicle sat all day in the structure. Unknown as to why it caught fire, but the fire originated somewhere in the engine compartment. I took delivery of this vehicle 8 days before this happened and it only had approximately 300 miles on it. *tt *js *dt *jb |
