ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I RECENTLY RENTED A BRAND NEW BUICK LUCERNE CAR FROM ENTERPRISE RENTALS. THE FOLLOWING DAY I WAS STANDING BY THE REAR OF THE CAR AND I SUSTAINED A PAINFUL BURN ON MY LEG FROM THE CHROME TAILPIPE. SECOND OR THIRD DEGREE BURN APPROX 3X3 CM. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT A CHILD COULD GRAB ONTO THE TAILPIPE AND BE SEVERELY BURNED. I HAVE PHOTOS. *TR
