| Description of the problem | While driving home my vehicle began to smoke and leave fumes within the car. I pulled the vehicle immediately to inspect to find that my kickplate was on fire from below the kickplate. I pulled the panel off and doused out the flame. Now with the vehicle home i do not feel safe driving this vehicle knowing something like this is even remotely possible. |
