| Description of the problem | I was driving home from work last january 19 at 5pm i saw my window that it looks like so hot outside and when i tried to open it,i saw a flame coming out from the left power switch. I was so scared because it looks like it was getting big so i stop my car ,turn off my engine,get out of the car and call 911. When police and fire department arrived, the fire or flames gone. It was so strange and scary. Good thing i never got hurt and i turned off the engine right away. I file this complaint because i just want you to be aware so that you guys can do any solution for this matter and i don't want anybody to experience what happen to me.
