What owners wrote

I'm writing, because I believe the chevy camaro may possibly have some faulty parts. Today there was a,deadly crash involving a chevy camaro that exploded,on impact. Apparently the passengers,burned to death in this vehicle. Since I myself drive a,2011,chevy camaro I was wondering what would cause this vehicle to,explode.
