Consumer Description

AFTER A SHORT DRIVE I PARKED THE CAR. I STARTED TO NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENTS. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD BUT COULD NOT SEE ANY SOURCE. AFTER CLOSING THE HOOD I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND THEN NOTED FLAMES COMING FROM JUST FORWARD OF THE DASH BOARD. WITHIN SECONDS THE ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I AM REPORTING THIS NOW BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY RECALL THAT I JUST HEARD ABOUT ON THIS CAR.
