News Story: Design Flaw in Recently Released Sedans Causes Car Fire Crisis

Grand Junction, Co. – October 31- This just in, several individuals have been hospitalized due to devastating injuries obtained as a result of multiple car fires that have taken place over the weekend here in Grand junction. These car fires are said to be the direct result of design flaw in the fuel lines of the newly released Charisma family Sedans. As can be expected The Interstate Motor Company responsible for the newly released vehicle, is receiving a great deal of backlash as a result of this dangerous crisis.

When speaking to vehicle design expert Nathaniel Evans, it is clear that design flaws aren’t as rare as many would like to think. Evans stated, “Although flaws in vehicle fuel lines do happen quite often it is rare for them to go unnoticed until after the vehicle has been released to the consumer.” Leaving us to wonder what made this instance so different from past instances.

The company is facing both negative publicity and plummeting of their sales in the midst of this crisis. Though their reputation is all but tarnished The Interstate Motor Company plans to move forward with the sole intent of making things right for those who have been wronged. The IMC's call to action includes creating a new team intended only to check all safety protocols in each vehicle several times over. This is to prevent any further design flaws from going unnoticed in the future.

When asked to comment on the events IMC’s CEO, Samantha Brown had this to say, “To the families directly impacted by this crisis, please know that it was never our intension for anyone to get hurt. We plan to fully reimburse those directly affected both medically and financially. Although we know this does not undo the damage that has been done. We hope that when moving forward it is known that our customers and their safety are and will continue to be our highest priority.” Seaming just as stunned by this chain of events as the fellow public.

Although understandably shaken up, it does seem that those directly involved in the car fires are expected to make a full recovery. Whether they will ever be able to trust IMC for their automotive needs, only time will tell.
