In December of 2006 my 1999 Buick Regal gse with supercharger caught on fire in engine department 5 to 10 minutes after leaving vehicle. There was a complaint of a 'burnt toast' smell in the area of the vehicle prior to the fire. We did notice a decrease in the mpg indicator (5mpg less )several days prior to the fire . The fire resulted in a total loss of the vehicle. The fire also caused a monetary loss due to the fact that we were responsible for a $500 insurance deductible plus the insurance company only gave us trade-in value instead of replacement value for the vehicle.
My car started jumping forward while in park and jumping while driving. About a week or so after doing that I was driving when a huge cloud of smoke came from under the hood. After turning off the engine and getting out of the car, it was on fire in a matter of minutes. The fire dept came and eventually put the fire out. Everything under the hood is totaled, the windshield cracked, the whole interior smells of burnt rubber from the tires being burnt and all wires throughout the car are shot.
I drove my 99 Buick Regal to work, parked, went inside, started answering email. Was informed by CO workers that my car was burning. My car was engulfed in flames in minutes.
