## Narrative
I was driving down our main road and I saw and smelled smoke coming out of the air vents, then a warning light came on my dashboard for my 12V battery I pulled over right away and opened the trunk and saw fire on the left-hand side. I attempted to extinguish the fire myself using soda, I was pulling clothing (2 shirts and napkins)  out of the car and burned my hand We towed the car to Volvo and they are claiming it’s not their fault  We have only had the car for 4 months  And my husband could have died or worse if my child was in the back seat!
