VEHICLE ROLLOVER CRASH. FIRE SEEMS TO BE FROM A RECALLED FUEL VALVE. IF MY FAMILY BURNT ALIVE IN THAT VEHICLE I WOULD HAVE A SICK VENDETTA FOR THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NON REPORTING OF SAFETY CONCERNS TO ME AS AN INSURED DRIVER. INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL PARTIES INVOLVED OR RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS A CHILD SAFETY CONCERN. CHILDREN CAN BE BURNED ALIVE DUE TO THIS HAZARD OF ENGINEERING DESIGNED TO CAUSE TOTAL DESTRUCTION FOR PROFITING PURPOSES. THE TECHNOLOGIES AT HAND ARE TOO GREAT FOR THIS TYPE OF ABSOLUTE INCOMPETENCE TO OCCUR. HONDA SHOULD BE BARRED FROM DOING BUSINESS IN THE US UNTIL SUCH ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED. *TR
