Approximately 1 hour after being parked in parking stall at my residence, neighbors noticed fire coming from the hood and underneath the vehicle (the fire originated on the driver's side).they attempted to put out the fire and called 911. San jose fire department responded to the call and finished putting out the fire. The vehicle had visible burnt wiring, right side fender damage from heat (inside and outside) and the right driver's side tire sustained damage due to melting debris falling on tire. The fire department took a report of the incident. As I have relayed this event to others, they have mentioned that this is probably a "recall fire" and that I should report this incident.

I had a spark plug blow out of the cylinder head, as many other people have. This is a manufacturing defect, and they know it, since they changed the design. There should be a recall for this, since it is a safety issue, and if I cannot fix it, it will cost me $2400 for a new cylinder head.
