    The product, in the report: 2005 Craftsman Husqvarna Riding Lawn Mower

    2005 Craftsman Husqvarna Riding Lawn Mower, model# 917.276360 with serial# On Monday, April 27th, 2015 this caller was using a leaf collection product being towed by her riding lawnmower, after approximately two and one half hours on and off time she turned off.

    She dumped the leaves and then got back on the lawnmower, turned it on heard a backfire, saw smoke so turned it back off.

    She then saw flames and the lawnmower started back up again by itself.

    She got off the lawnmower then her husband took a stick and pushed the wires away from the battery in an attempt to get it to turn off.

    The lawnmower then stopped running.

    She and her husband, a neighbor and her son used fire extinguishers to extinguish the flame.

    She has pictures that she will attach when returning this report, the lawnmower is totaled.

    The caller and her husband have ordered a new riding mower from the same manufacturer and retailer. She would like to ask for some relief in the pricing of this ride on mower.
