Consumer Description

SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE OFF AND ON KNOB FOR HEAT/AIR.. I ALSO HAD A CD IN MY CD PLAYER AS I WAS TRAVELING ON A ROYAL ROAD, A STRANGE SMELL WAS ALSO COMING FROM THE SMOKE. I PULLED OVER LIFTED THE HOOD AND SEEN NO FIRE. I TURNED THE KNOB OFF, REMOVED THE CD AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED MY CAR. I AM WARY TO PUT A CD BACK IN THE PLAYER... I THINK THAT IS WHAT CAUSED IT BUT IT MAY HAVE BEEN MY TEMPERATURE KNOB,, HAD THE BLOWER ON FOR COOL AIR VENT.... NOT AC OR HEAT, JUST VENT AIR ON HIGH.
