The vehicle caught fire while travelling at approximately 40 MPH on the highway, us route 93 at exit 33, south in massachusetts, and burnt and the gas tank exploded. There was no accident preceding the fire. The vehicle is a total loss.
Vehicle just locked up, and I was forced to coast down a hill from my houseintyo uncoming traffic.. This has been the second time this has occurred with this vehicle, the first ime, I called triple aaa and had the car towed to arroway chevrolet dealership in mount kisco ny. This is where I purchased the vehicle. This occured with a 2005 chevrolet cavalier tht I purchased from arroway in mount kisco, it occured so frequently, that I turned it in and purchased the aveo.
