Description of the problem | In april of 2020 we started having electrical issues- the blinkers were going crazy, headlights would not turn off, a strange smell emitting from the air vents, etc so we decided to bring it back to the dealership to be evaluated as we had just at 600 miles on it. It was found to be an issue with the computer module and after being repaired was given back. Fast forward to september 6 at 3,202 miles we noticed the same smell and the blinkers were going very fast again so we headed home and once again called our dealership. Shortly after getting off of the phone with them we noticed we could smell the same smell from outside of the vehicle and soon thereafter something under the hood near the steering column caught fire causing the front windshield on the driver's side to explode and completely destroy our vehicle. |
