problem #1

Suburban 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

My vehicle spontaneously caught on fire. The smoke started coming out of the cd/radio. Within minutes the smoke was so thick that our eyes were burning and it was difficult to see and breathe. By the time I got the car over and evacuated 5 kids and a dog, fire was actually visible. The flame was coming out of the cd player.
