Avalon

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
I had a frontal crash that the hood was pushed in about 1 foot and right head light was out. It was not that big of crash, the air bag was not deployed. I was able to drive the car for about 5 miles home. The car was parked in the garage to wait for the insurance company inspector to come for claim inspection. However after about 3 full days, the car ignited itself and burned the whole car. Of course, I am fortunate that I was not in the car when the fire started but it is quite unreliable for the car to just ignite by itself. Shouldn't there some kind of safty feature for a slightly crashed car to be safe from catching a fire or this safty feature simply malfunctioned"?"
