Consumer Description

I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE, LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE AND NO MORE THAN 30 MPH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, GOT OUT, WALKED AROUND THE REAR OF THE CAR, AND SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I DIDN'T NOTICE IT AT FIRST, BUT GRAY SMOKE WAS POURING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE VIEW MIRROR. I GOT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND BY THE TIME I WAS READY TO USE IT A MINUTE LATER THE SMOKE HAD STOPPED. IT WAS RAINING SO MAYBE SOME WATER GOT IN AND SHORTED IT OUT. UPDATED 09/19/13*LJ UPDATED 12/26/2013 *JS
