Prizm 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 48,000 miles
The 36 month old 2001 Chevrolet Prizm had an electrical fire in the dash area. My son was inside a store and someone told him that the car was on fire. The fire was confined to the passenger compartment. It still had the factory installed radio/cd with no modifications. Chevrolet inspected the car after having it towed to a local dealership. Then they did absolutely nothing. The usual response?
