The 2003 mercerdes Benz 300C engine suddenly caught on fire while driving it to work. The car stalled, flames shoot out the front hood, the car would not restart, so I coasted to the firm. I opened the hood to see blue flames shoopt 20 feet in the air. A passerby tried to put out the firwe unsucessfully with a fire extiquisher. The flames got hotter and shot 60 feet in the air, and police and fire department responded and were finally able to put out the fire. The engine block melted down, and there was a large hole burnt into the pasenger space. The car was totaled. I wrote Mercedes Benz, and they were being nonresponsive. I have photos of the melted engine block and the large hole burned into the pasenger space through the engine firewall.
