I REVERSED CAR, BACKED UP 50 FT. AND CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF & WINDSHIELD GOT EXTREMELY HOT, AND I GOT OUT OF VEHICLE, SMOKE COMING FROM HOOD AREA, LEFT MY PURSE, AND WALKED ACROSS ROAD TO ASK FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHER. MAN HAD JUST GOT UP, HADN'T HAD COFFEE ,AND INVITED ME IN. I WENT BACK OUTSIDE AND SAW CAR WAS BURNING, SO I STAYED ON HIS PORCH, THEN FRONT YARD. I KNEW TRASH MAY HAVE AEROSOL CANISTERS, AND NOT WORTH MY LIFE TO TRY TO GO THROUGH FIRE TO SAVE MY PURSE. COPS CAME (9:45-10:15 AM , AND SAID I LOOKED FUNNY AND ARRESTED ME ACCUSING ME OF BEING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MEDICATION. I WAS NOT ON ANY MEDICINE AND DEFINITELY NOT DRINKING. CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AFTER EXPLOSION AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANOTHER FOR OVER 8 MONTHS. I AM ON DISABILITY FOR FIBROMYALGIA, NEURALGIA, & OSTEOPOROSIS, AND HOLLOW BONES. I FALL QUITE OFTEN (ONE LEG IS SHORTER THAN OTHER). OFFICER HIMSELF DREW MY BLOOD IN A PUBLIC PLACE, AND REFUSED TO LET ME SEE MY ATTORNEY 3 TIMES. I NEVER GOT TO USE A PHONE IN 2 DAYS. BUT VEHICLE WAS PROBLEMATIC FROM DAY 1 , BATTERY WOULD NOT HOLD A CHARGE, JUMP A RIDING LAWN MOWER , AND WOULD JUST CUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. STEERING WAS ALSO A PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE, LIKE TIRES WERE NEVER ALIGNED. *TR
