Does anyone know what happened? Anything we should check on our cars?

I don't think freon is flammable.

Freon is a registered trade name of DuPont, which it uses for a number of halocarbon products. They are stable, nonflammable, moderately toxic gases or liquids which have typically been used as refrigerants and as aerosol propellants


Makes you wonder what was added to the Freon

This is interesting

According to the press release, numerous tests have been performed on R-1234yf by automakers and independent agencies alike with no negative effects, but Daimler says that is has found a certain scenario where the refrigerant can leak at high pressures and ignite. Daimler found that in severe head-on collisions, the refrigerant line can break and spray R-1234yf onto the exhaust system causing a fire. It isn't certain how severe the fires were, but as a precautionary measure, Daimler says that it will continue to use R-134a in all of its cars.

Looking at independent tests performed by DuPont and Honeywell, the results showed that R-1234yf is "very difficult to ignite with electrical spark" and this refrigerant "shows [the] same flammability behavior as R-134a." This latter result showed ignition against a metal plate with a temperature above 900 degrees Celsius with the ignition of both refrigerants in this scenario attributed to the existence of PAG oil used in automotive air conditioning systems; the tests did not say if the refrigerant was pressurized as it was in the Daimler tests.

According to Ed, State Farm stepped up and settled with him and he is very happy. Did not want to disclose settlement but understand he is now looking for a replacement. They paid him for the new headers and exhaust and tax and title fees as well. He said he prefers 93-95 red/black or black/black but will also consider 91 or 92.

I have a friend who has a small used car dealership on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and goes to all the auctions. He charges for his services $500 or 5% whichever is greater and goes to the auction, pays, does all the paperwork and gets you the title and you pay him by check. Manheim auctions changed policy last year and now you have to show a dealer ID to get into the auction where before you could get in as a "driver" for the dealer. My friend allowed me to get a dealer license on his company so I could still get into the auctions but I cannot buy as everything is on his company account.

Hi Charlie,
Anyway you could put me in touch with him? I have a price I would be willing to spend. If he gets his profit and I get the car for that price, it's a win-win.
