| 1. after driving vehicle for an hour or less (depending on atmospheric conditions) a spark/static discharge occurs between the external metal surface of the vehicle and the first occupant exiting vehicle. *ak 2. this could potentially ignite fumes when the vehicle is refueling or in presence of other flammable gases/materials. also potential could cause spark between the gas tank door and gas station fuel nozzle. this is as much of a danger as an annoyance due to the static discharge/spark is very strong. i do not experience this in other vehicles. 3. dealer fails to acknowledge and correct this issue. *nm | |||

| Just left a auto car wash and within about two minutes smoke rises from the center floor console. i pulled into a nearby gas station about a block away. parked away from the pumps. demanded a fire extinguisher from the attendant. returned to the car as flames just started to erupt from the console . the dry chemical extinguisher made quick work of the fire. i don't think between the smell & sight of smoke and putting out the fire five minutes elapsed. i think the wiring must have shorted. the cigarette lighter never worked. the only other the device on the harness into the console is the p-r-n-d illumination panel. the fire caused the plastic console housing to melt down into the top of the transmission linkage. the tow tuck operator was able to cut the melted plastic off of the linkage & i was able to dive the car home, a few blocks away. apparently there wasn't damage to the metal linkages to the transmission. the cars' been declared a total loss! *tr | |||
