| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was in a small collision at the speed of 10 mph or less. i rear ended a ford f150 truck because my brakes skided on the road, my 2003 neon fishtailed, and i hit the bumper of the truck. my right headlight was smashed, and my radiator was also broken. after 3 minutes my engine caught on fire, and my entire car was engulfed in fire within 5 minutes after the collision. my airbag on both driver and passenger side did not go off, i didn't hit the truck at a highspeed, yet my car went up in flames. everything in the car was melted, and i think this car is very unsafe. had i hit a truck or been hit by another large or small car, i hate to wonder what would of happened then. would i of made it out in time before it caught on fire, or would it blow up on impact?! neons are not safe, and i think this car will catch on fire at any speed. i have pictures of the car that shows the damage from the collision, and you wouldn't ever think the small damage could catch this car on fire. |
