| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After rear-end collision (my fault on slick pavement, going est. 15 mph where brakes locked up and car skidded for at least 15-20 feet) the front end of my car simply had a dented front end and grill and left (driver's side) headlight. a few minutes later a small flame broke out around this broken headlight and the flame quickly grew before the fire engines could get there, w/in 5 minutes the entire engine area was on fire and the car is now totaled. the fire chief told me that he had never seen a headlight catch fire and then spread the way this did. i'm questioning whether this was a mechanical or electrical defect in this model of acura and whether i have a claim against acura. *nm |
