Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“A warning light illuminated as the driver was pulling into a bank parking lot. The vehicle was left running while the driver briefly stepped away to use the ATM. When he returned, he saw smoke coming out of the glove compartment. When the glovebox was opened, an active fire was already burning inside the dash cavity behind it. The fire grew rapidly and resulted in full cabin flashover, destroying the interior, melting wiring, and causing structural damage. The burn pattern clearly shows the fire originated inside the passenger-side dash/glovebox area, not the engine compartment. …”
