The car in front of me came to the stop and so did i but as i hit my brake something blew up in my face and made me put my arms up and i lost visibility. The weird part is they went off at a rolling stop under 3 mph .also last week my car brake switch almost started an electrical fire.
Melted all my wires almost caused fire
While filing my car with gas, drops of gas were dripping onto the concrete. I looked under my car and the fuel tank filler tube and gas tank gasket are leaking fuel directly onto my exhaust pipe. Had my exhaust been extremely hot, my car would have caught fire and exploded. Please recall this. *tr
