I commute to work for 2-3 hours a day. on 12 july 2019 i was traveling to work on the beltway (695 north toward 95 north) and i heard something sounding like a hard pop or thumb and my car started to shut down in the middle of the beltway. i was able to get it to the shoulder of the road where it completely shut off and would not start again. i called a towing company to have my car towed back home because i had no idea what was going on or what was wrong. later during the week i had my car towed to a mechanic who then told me the problem was the engine and it had to be replaced. i am so frustrated right now. this is my only means of transportation. my issurance company covers nothing. i have to pay for towings, i will have to pay for labor and repairs myself, while still making car payments and insurance payments. this is more than a serious burden on me. i am 62 years old and the stress of this whole situation is becoming unbearable. no, i don't have a husband, or children or signifcant other to help me. it is me and me alone who has to come up with money that i do not have. i have been home from work for a week, ever since this happened. i can not afford to miss another day, but i have no transportation to get there. was there a recall on my car for engine problems?
My car engine caught fire. the car was burnt. driving to the store the car began to smoke and caught fire.
I was driving down a suburban street when my car engine caught on fire. i was able to stop and get out of the car safely. although i had put the car in park and used the emergency brake, it rolled down the street until it hit a telephone pole, which it set on fire. the fire was primarily on the driver's side of the car. i had no reason to expect this fire to happen. a firefighter told me it should not have happened, and to do my due diligence.
Hi my car caught fire!! the car began smoking thick white smoke through the air conditioning and when we pulled off the street and opened the hood the car was in fire. i really don't feel safe in that car. this would be the 4th time i take it to the dealer. first 3 times was for the air container not working properly, evaporator and some other parts were replaced and now it went up in flames. they say the car is fine but i just don't feel safe any more. this happened 6/29/15 my car is only 8 months old i bought it 10/27/14. i am very concern for other people who have this same car it is not safe. *tr
