There was a fire under the hood which caused 2 explosions. The first explosion appears to have been an electrical fire. The second explosion was in the gas or fuel line. The entire engine area was burned and the fire cracked the windshield and started moving into the front of the car. No one was hurt. The car was determined to be a total loss. No repairs were made. This is a claim to replace or repair the car. Police and firemen were called to the fire. Fire report was made.

My wife was driving the vehicle when she smelled a burning odor. She looked behind her and saw flames coming out of the right rear side panel next to the third seat. She pulled over and called 911. The police and fire dept. Came and put out the fire. The fire dept. Said it appeared to be caused by an electrical short. My insurance company, New Jersey manufacturers insurance co., declared the car a total loss and took it.
