***Car Caught on FIREEEEE!!!!***



so i am in downtown seattle in the middle of the intersection and all the sudden flames start coming out of the front headlight/wheel well area on passenger side. i will have more pics to come. so i guess what do i do? car is still under warranty, so i call infiniti and bitch em out? or? i am genuinely scared it could happen again because its an electrical issue so what do you think the dealership would do for me? thanks and man that was scary! but i wasn't hurt and so thats good. thanks for any help fellas.

Sorry for the crappy pic. it was from my blackberry and i was a little shaken up.

Damn bro sorry about ur situation. Before you call infiniti, make sure there's no mode that they can blame for the cause of the fire. You know they'd try anything to get off the hook. Hope everything works out for you.

Skip all the BS and call corporate! Take lots of pictures/video and document everything that happened. Hopefully it was not caused by any aftermarket items

Wait did you confirm that there was in fact a fire under the hood, or are you just guessing?

Im sure that there is a problem but hope it was not an actual fire caused by the electrical system.

If he takes out the bulbs he gets hit for fraud. You dont think if there was a fire that the bulbs wouldnt have burnt in? All the sudden there are brand new bulbs in there and everything else is burnt.
