| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I put the car in the garage and went inside the house. i came back out to the garage to get something else out of the car and i smelled a horrible smell, like plastic burning. i opened the hood and saw the flames. my neighbor helped me push the car out fhe garage. i ran a hose over the engine to put the fire out. had i not gotten the car out of the garage, my car could have caught fire, burned my brand new house down and possibly killed me. i am apalled that i found out about this recall more than 1 year after my incident. i thought it was isolated until i read about it in the newpaper. it cost more than $650 to replace the alternator and fix the damage to my car. i am going to contact nissan for reimbursement. i am very lucky that my situation did not end up killing me.*ak |
