May 182006

Sentra 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 115,513 miles
To whom it may concern: I purchased my 1998 Nissan Sentra xe/gxe January 27, 2005, from a used auto car dealer. May 18. 2006 defect on the vehicle occurred that caused my vehicle to go up in flames and caused it to be destroyed. The fire started with the head light and leading to other parts of the motor. The fire department was called out to the scene. The description of the fire was that it started from the right head light which had a shortage in the wiring and set off a box behind the light which caused the fire to melt the transmission fluid box which caused the fire to spread.
