| I owned a 2007 mercedes ml500, the reason i don't own the vehicle any longer is because it burnt up in my parking lot outside of my office. the evening before the fire i had dinner out and when i went to unlock my car doors, the right blinker light flickered and remained on. as i got into the car the sound of the blinker was very quick and i turned it off but realized then that it went completely out along with the right front headlight. the next morning i made an appointment t get those fixed, in the meantime i drove to work and parked. one of my co-workers whose office faces the parking lot said that there was smoke coming out of my car. we called 911 ran outside and when we opened the drivers door there were flames coming out from underneath the passenger side seat. we used a fire extinguisher but the flames kept coming back until there was a whoosh sound and the fire exploded out of the car. at that point we all ran for safety and had to sit and watch while my car was engulfed in flames until the fire department could put it out. the entire interior of the vehicle was a black charred mess from the front to the back, the exterior was burnt and it was a total loss. preliminary results are pointing to an electrical failure in the seat. fyi - the seat warmer had not been turned on at all, in fact, no one has sat in that seat for weeks. | |||
