Description of the problem | Driving home from work, i started smelling smoke a few blocks from my house. I thought a garbage can was on fire in the neighborhood or something like that. I pulled into my driveway and my trunk was on fire. Called 911 and the fire department arrived within 4 minutes. Car was totaled. Dealership and insurance company believe wiring harness or battery (located in trunk) was the cause of the fire. *tt |
