Failure Date: 12/03/2008

On 12/3/08 @ 12:30 a. M. , my 2007 Suzuki Forenza caught fire resulting in a total loss. I've contacted Suzuki & I'm awaiting there return call. The fire marshall ruled out arson & concluded that the origin of the fire was underneath the hood resulting from electrical wiring in the vehicle. I purchased the vehicle in may of 2008 & I've never had a problem since the purchase. On 12/2/08, I drove the vehicle once in the morning & then again in the evening. Both trips were short distances. On the evening/early morning of 12/3/08 I woke up to my car engulfed in flames.
