“I was driving on the interstate, about 65 MPH, and the phone charger caught fire and exploded. I stopped the car on the interstate to extinguish the fire on my person. The charger fell under the passenger seat, and caught the seat on fire. The whole car was consumed by the time the fire department responded to the scene.”
NHTSA complaint #11183433, filed 2019-03, 16,000 miles“Trunk flooded with water due to insufficient drainage. Factory radio amplifier and vehicle fuse box are covered in water as well as aftermarket amplifier I've installed. I have parts for inspection if needed. My safety could be at risk if this causes a fire hazard, but I am unsure if that could happen. Other safety risks to myself and other drivers could be present if tail lights stopped working or engine suddenly shutting off. These as well as other things could suddenly stop working if the fuses blow or corroded from water in the fuse box. …”
