Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Pick-up was driven less than 2 miles that day parked for about an hour, then driven back home, and parked in front of my house on the street i locked it and went inside . about 30 to 45 minutes later my neighbor informed me that my pick-up was on fire. the fire department arrived and put out the fire within minutes. my pick-up was a total loss i could not understand why it caught fire because it was running fine and it had been recently smoged without any leaks showing. i was insured with aarp- hartford (pl-pd only) did not cover losses. also just wondering if anybody else had these problems. thank- you for your time --ernie. *ak
