Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Lost control of vehicle which resulted in a front end collision. my speed was about 45 mph at time of impact. vehicle ignited instantly. the flames were coming from under the hood, closest to the windshield on the passenger side. was prompted by a relative to file a complaint. i was told that the vehicle should not have burned and should have had a cut-off for fuel line. the vehicle was totally consumed and exploded within what seemed like 5-15 min. (wasn't really looking at my watch, to busy running away from car!) had no major problems with car up until then other than the check engine light coming on periodically, which dealer had no explanation for. *trp *nlm
