On 4/11/15 at 3:00 am we were woken up to see our Honda CRV ex which was parked on our driveway next to our house was engulfed in fire. It was a ball of fire. The last it was driven was on 4/9/15 at 5:00 pm, so the car was not drive for 34 hours. We did not have any problems prior to this incident. The car was completely burned and there is damaged to our house because of the car fire.

This car vibrates a lot when I am driving at any speed. It has been going on for several years. I did not find out the specific problem until 3/15/2014. I had three different mechanics look at the car for the problem. They all said that the rear U-joint on the propeller shaft is badly damaged. This U-joint is not repairable by Honda design because it is a part of the propeller shaft. According to the Honda dealer, the entire shaft must be replaced at a cost of about $1800. I believe that it is a manufacturing defect. The propeller was probably defective when I bought the car. According to the mechanics, they have never seen this problem before. This car has never been in any major accident to cause this problem. It is a safety hazard which should be covered by Honda. The problem was probably there when I bought the car but it has gotten worse since then. My husband and I have driven the car mostly locally all these years. My husband, [xxx], has my permission to act on my behalf in this matter. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Driving the car became unmanageable--shimmy, shudder, steer pulling. I determined at least two of the tires had "warped" when looking at the face of the tire.
