description: JANUARY 2ND I WAS ASKED TO JUMPSTART A VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES LATER MY NISSAN VERSA, WITH LESS THAN 33000 MILES, CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CABLES WERE HOOKED UP CORRECTLY. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT AND AT LEAST THREE TIMES, I HAD COMPLAINED OF A BURNING SMELL AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING. I WAS TOLD BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, I SHOULD BRING IT TO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE A LICENSED NISSAN MECHANIC COULD DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. WHEN THE DEALER NEGLECTED TO DO SO, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WAS CALLED IN TO DO AN INSPECTION. THEY COMPLETED THEIR INSPECTION AND WOULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSE OR RELEASE THE REPORT TO ME OR THE NISSAN DEALER. THEY OPTED TO KEEP THE INFORMATION UNDERCOVER. I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO THE RECALL ON THE SHIFTER RECALL. THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO LEAK AND THE ENGINE TO CATCH ON FIRE. *TR
