Consumer Description
MY CAR WAS PARKED FOR A BRIEF TIME AND THEN, JUST BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO START MY CAR, I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE GLOVE BOX AND WHEN I BLEW ON IT, A FIREBALL CAME OUT AND THE WHOLE CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES. JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY AIR-CONDITIONING AND HAD PRIOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT I HAD CHECKED OUT AT A BMW REPAIR SHOP.
