Consumer Description

WHEN I PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND TURNED THE KEY OFF, AND ACTUALLY PULLED THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH, WITH THE VEHICLE STILL RUNNING. I BACKED THE CAR UP, WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, WHERE I STARTED SMELLING WIRES BURNING. I CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY PUT FIRE OUT ON THE FUSE BOX, WITH EVERYTHING MELTED AROUND IT. I HAVE HAD MINOR PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, I.E. WHEEL BEARING AND BRAKES, BUT, NOTHING LIKE THIS. WHILE MY 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME, WE DID GET OUT, AND NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR
