| Description of the problem | Driver side rear quarter panel started on fire. This occurred after an approximately 4 mile drive. I believe the fire started on the drive. I parked the vehicle in a parking lot with only one other vehicle. When i was walking into the store i smelled burning plastic but did not relate it to my car burning. I was in the store about 5 minutes. When i walked out i saw the fire. There was no outside influence to the fire and nothing inside the vehicle vehicle. The only thing in that area of the vehicle is wiring. |
