| Description of the problem | Upon stationary ignition, driver's side door started smoking and caught fire, melting the wiring harness, and interior window master switch (and cover) and the window motor. I pushed the car away from the house. We removed the door panel and heard a loud band and flames started pouring out of the door. I took it to martin honda dealer to be repaired. The charged me 1800. To replace the melted components, although they did not replace the mirror switch, which failed as a result of the fire. I found a recall number 12v-486 dated 10/4/2012. Power window master switch, which describes exactly what happened. I contacted honda and they opened a case as i am looking for reimbursement t and also to have the additional repair performed. They told me that the recall had been previously performed on this car. And it happened again???? Now, i'm afraid to drive it! |
