Consumer Description

AT THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY, MY KIDS WANTED TO WATCH A DVD IN THE CAR WHILE I WAS CLEANING THE DRIVEWAY. I PUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION (I DID NOT START THE ENGINE) FOR THE DVD TO WORK, PUT ON THE DVD AND START CLEANING THE DRIVEWAY. FEW MINUTES LATER I HAVE SEEN A BIG SMOKE COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR. I HAVE CHECKED THE MIRROR AND IT WAS IN FLAMES. I TOOK THE KIDS OUT OF THE CAR, TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF IGNITION, REMOVE THE BACK COVER OF THE MIRROR AND PUT OUT THE FIRE WHICH WAS COMING FROM A BUNDLE OF WIRES INSIDE THE MIRROR ASSEMBLY. *TR
