Consumer Description

JUST FINISHED WASHING THE CAR OUTSIDE THE MY GARAGE, I THEN MOVED IT INSIDE THE GARAGE TO CLEAN AND VACUUM INSIDE. 30 MINS LATER, A STRONG BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE CAME OUT FROM THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER PUDDLE LIGHT AREA. I HAVE TO QUICKLY CALL 911, AND BEFORE 911 ARRIVAL I MANAGED TO OPEN THE HOOD AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND THE SMOKE STOPPED. THERE WAS STILL A STRONG SMILE IN THE AIR WHEN 911 CAME. 911 RECOMMENDED TOWING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP CONNECTED THE BATTERY AND DROVE IT OUTSIDE WHERE IT COULD BE EASILY TOW. JUST LUCKY TO BE IN THE GARAGE WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE BURN THE HOUSE. THIS VEHICLE (SUBARU TRIBECA B6 IS NOTHING BUT A DISASTER), THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER RENDERED NO SUPPORT WHATSOEVER. *TR
