Description of the problem | While driving on the i-15 south near camino del norte, my car caught on fire. The fire came from the inside, back, drivers side from the electrical components! As i entered the 15 a few miles before, i noticed all of the preset stations weren't working and then the car gave an air bag warning. After the airbag warning, there was a parking brake warning. That is when i pulled over, grabbed my purse, and noticed the car was on fire. I called 9-1-1. The fire department came and put the fire out. |
