After turning on my heater and driving the car 10 minutes the car caught fire. I smelled something burning when I parked and got out of the vehicle, but thought it was coming from outside the vehicle. I came back to my car 2 hours later and the fire department had been out and the front end of my car was completely charred.

Malibu 4-cyl

  • 29,000 miles
I was driving on the freeway when I was forced to go over a cardboard box that happened to be on my lane. I felt it hit the underside of my car. A few minutes later, I smelled smoke and I was also alerted by surrounding drivers to pull over. I immediately pulled over and ran out of the vehicle to about 100ft away. I could see flames in the front of the car. By the time I reached out to emergency services and they got to the location, the car was completely on fire.
