| Description of the problem | Started my car with the remote starter. Everything from wipers to alarm to window washer to lights went on a fritz. Smoke came out of the hood. I made sure car was turned off and opened the hood to discover a fire. I had a small fire extinguisher and was barely enough to extinguish the fire. Once extinguished i called the dealer who had just serviced the car and am waiting for an idea why it happened. It melted the electronic components next to the air dam, wires around the battery etc. |
