Description of the problem | The dashboard starting on the passenger side all the way over to the steering column caught fire and melted the entire dashboard. I parked my car around 9pm and went back out around 11:30pm to get something out and found my dashboard completely melted. I was told by the fire company that because the windows were all closed tightly the fire smothered itself. I had to have it towed to the body shop and they called and told me it was an electrical fire. My car was totaled. |
