Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2002 KIA SEDONA AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL IN NATURE AND BEGAN IN THE STEERING COLUMN. AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVING THE KEYS, THE ENGINE STARTED ALONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE FIRE WAS CONTAINED TO THE DASH AND STEERING COLUMN AREA. A NEARBY CITIZEN EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT MY WIFE AND 3 YOUNG CHILDREN WERE NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED.
