Description of the problem | I parked the car at work at 7:30 am. At noon a co-worker notified me that my car was filled with smoke in the cabin. I went outside and saw this and immediately called the fire department. I waited for them to show, and opened the door as smoke poured out from the cabin. The fire department said there was an active fire in the glovebox. It looks like it started around the blower motor for the ac and the fuse box . My insurance company declared the car a total loss. |
