Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car caught on fire in the driveway, with no key and in park. my son had come in the house and said mom your car is smoking. i had parked the car approx 20 mins before after a 6 mile trip, it was winter, thank god i did not park in the garage or it would have gone up in smoke too, as i live in the country and it took a long time for the trucks to arrive. i am glad i was not a young mom with kids in car seats which takes alot of time. scared the crap outta us, cause the garage (tools, wood, vehicles, stuff was so very close to the car and garage is very close to our home(keepsakes, everything). *tr
