My home caught fire march 24, originating at the car port where vehicle was parked. Neighbor witnessed bright white explosions taking place at the corner of the car port where vehicle was parked. My wife woke to the smoke alarm, and house was filled with toxic smoke. As I rose and investigated, I witnessed the interior side door to the car port ablaze above the door frame. As I tried to smack the flames with a pillow, visible through the glass door to the car port, the vehicle was an inferno.
On 11/21/2020 at 5:30 pm, we had a car crash on a highway I-495 (capital beltway, md), we were in our car (I, my wife, 2 kids), we noticed a sudden stop by many cars ahead of us in the same lane we were in (left lane), I pressed my brake and been able to avoid reaching the car ahead of me but unfortunately, the car behind me was very fast with no control in their brake thus, she hit my car from the rear and pushed me to hit the front car.
Left me stranded on Mexico border.. battery shorts out . Charge port takes emery from phone instead of supplying it.. shorts out after closing hood for no reason fried battery black residue left behind around battery like fire happened. My toes got 3rd degree burns from hot air while driving my foot on gas .3rd degree burn all over toes couldn't wear shoes for a long ring only flip-flops
I recently got into to a car accident on , 9/15/2019. I hit a parked car in order to avoid an accident. I was not going no more than 10-15 miles per hour on a city street as I steered the car towards the right side to avoid an accident on the left side and my axle cracked. The police officer on the scene suggested I reach out to the manufacturer as he stated that the axle was not suppose to crack with such a minor incident. Per his suggestion I am writing to you.
My vehicle was in motion on a city street with no pot holes no other vehicles were around and my airbags deployed all on their own. No accident occurred.
