Consumer Description

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED TO SMOKE. I WAS ABLE TO LET IT AIR OUT ENOUGH TO DRIVE HOME. AS SOON AS I MADE IT HOME, THE SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE WINDOW CONTROL AND THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL, RUSHED TO GET MY KIDS OUT OF THE CAR. AS THE SMOKE THICKENED A FIRE STARTED, I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER BEFORE TOO MUCH DAMAGE WAS CAUSED. *JS
