4/1/2014 NOON- I DROVE THE CAR 2 MILES, MOSTLY 50 MPH OR LESS, PULLED UP TO MY MAILBOX ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, NOTICED COPIOUS SMOKE FROM UNDERNEATH. JUMPED FROM THE CAR AS MY HUSBAND CALLED 911. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND DESTROYED. THERE HAD BEEN NO EVIDENCE OF OIL LEAK OR OTHER MALFUNCTION. OIL LIFE WAS AT 30% AS I HAD CHECKED IT THE DAY BEFORE. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF MALFUNCTION BEFORE THE SMOKE, NO ACCIDENTS, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE REPORTS AVAILABLE. REPORTED TO STATE FARM INSURANCE. CAUSE UNKNOWN SINCE IT JUST HAPPENED.
