WHILE I WAS PARALLEL PARKING MY PASSENGER SAW HEAVY WHITE SMOKE AFTER I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL SHARPLY. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ALSO. MY PASSENGER AND I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED 911. I BELIEVE I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF BEFORE GETTING OUT. THE SMOKE STARTED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND FLAMES WERE SEEN UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD WAS BURNED AND THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AFTERWARDS THE CAR (INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR) SMELLED LIKE BURNT POWER STEERING FLUID. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR
