| Leading up to the event of the fire, occasionally the door ajar button would flash during driving, the alarm would randomly go off, and the lights inside the vehicle would flash at random times. this was never a pattern, and the car went periods of time with nothing happening to it. one morning, i opened the car door and found the entire inside to be burned out. the first started in the middle console. | |||
