Description of the problem | I drove from work to lunch approx 2 miles. Parked the car, turned it off, got out to go inside to get lunch, when i came back and opened the car door there was smoke coming from the dashboard. I waited a minute to see if it would stop. It did not so called 911 to have the fire department come out. While waiting for the fire department, i saw flames and the whole dashboard area of the car caught on car. |
