Owner Complaints (6)
Your car caught fire while parked in your driveway without being driven for 36 hours. Black smoke appeared from the rear seat and trunk area where the battery is located, then the car suddenly burst into flames, causing the doors to blow open, glass to shatter, and tires to burn. No warning lights on the dashboard indicated any problems before the fire started. The fire may have been caused by a battery electrical failure or short circuit that needs inspection by a technician.
