Description of the problem | While car was parked and idling, i noticed flames coming from backseat ceiling light. Plastic and flames dripped onto the upholstery catching it on fire as well as the ceiling area. I was able to extinguish the flames with a snow brush. I immediately called the honda dealership in town and am waiting for a tow truck to take it to the dealership so they can diagnose the issue. |
