Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Bought 1998 chevy astro van on march 8, 2007. we took a family vacation to iowa october 1-5, 2007. on the way back to tennessee, on i-64, located near nashville, illinois, the van began to smoke under the hood. thinking it was just overheating, we pulled over and shut the engine off. smoke began to come through the air vents. as we were exiting, we noticed flames coming from under the hood, and we ran. a large gush of wind caused the entire van to be engulfed in flames. we lost all our belongings as well as the vehicle itself. we are not exactly high on the financial end and would appreciate any and all help you can give us. *tr
