vehicle fire vehicle fire vehicle fire

I bought this car after I graduated in 2011, my first big purchase... I had it for a couple months and had numerous issues with the radio, blower motor, etc. Always took it to a shop. The night of the fire I locked my vehicle and went into my friends house about 20 minutes later I was being told that my car alarm was going off just to go outside and see fire dripping down from the engine compartment. The explanation I was given was that the fan that stays on for X amount of time after shut off shorted out and started a fire. This vehicle in my opinion should not be on the road at all nor should it ever have been.
