The product, in the report: SnapperPro S150X Series Zero Turn Riding Mower with Kawasaki motor
My Snapper Pro S150X Commercial Zero Turn Lawn Mower burst into flames, with me sitting on it. I had turned around to go in reverse and the flames were right in my face, directly behind the seat. I had been on it less than 5 minutes.I jumped off immediately, realizing that it was full of gasoline. I ran to the house to call 911, the fire department came. There was no warning at all. It was a well taken care of, immaculate machine, documented by the dealer.We paid $7000.00 for it and had it not quite 3 years . I loved that machine (I called it the Mighty Mowing Machine) and never allowed anyone to use it but me. My husband kept it clean for me. I have no idea why I didn’t burn up with it. Had I not turned around at that precise moment, I would have caught on fire. When I ran to the house, I turned around to look at it and the seat was enveloped in flames. This was a major malfunction with dangerous consequences for consumers. The cause should be investigated. The mower was picked up by our dealer who has talked to Snapper/Briggs & Stratton over 50 times to discuss the situation with them. SnapperPro/Briggs & Stratton seem to think that they have no product responsibility. The engine was Kawasaki. I looked on your web-site to see if there had been a re-call that I was not made aware of, and there doesn’t seem to be. Our purchase was well documented and had there been a re-call, Snapper would not have had any problem notifying us. My husband and I are just sick about this and think it very important that consumers are made aware of the danger we experienced with this product. We asked Snapper if they had sent a representative to investigate the cause of the fire. They said they had not. Apparently, they don’t want to know the cause.
