Other vehicle making a left turn hit my car at front right bumper and my car caught on fire. Air bags did not deployed either. I think there is some manufacturing defect in my car it should not caught on fire in such a small accident at low speed of 25 MPH. Please contact glen ellyn, illinois police and fire department for their reports. Police report number: 08092403046. Please help me.
