“I was driving my 1993 mercedes to a gas station in my town before a planned trip of several hundred miles of open highway. I was driving about 15 MPH when the automatic transmission started to malfunction. I slowed down and turned onto a side street. Smoke began pouring out from under the transmission hump so I turned off the ignition and ran to find a fire extinguisher while calling 911. Police arrived and kept me away from the car, which burst into flames. After the fire department hosed it all down the car was a total loss and I was very shaken up. …”
