We have a 1991 nissan maxima. On tuesday, dec. 13, 2004 it burned up under the hood and melted everything to a crisp. The fire department said they were not sure if it was the fuel injector that caused it to ignite. We were on our way to school, and it smelled like gas fumes, then it quelled down, about 10 minutes later it started to smoke. We opened the trunk first to get a rag and then the hood turned black, and in 1 minute. It started to blaze. None of the body of the car was damaged except the hood, and everything under it melted to a crisp. Could this be a defect please give me a guess. Thanks for your time. *ak
