“I went into my garage for something and noticed a humming noise coming from the crv which had been parked in there for several hours. I walked around the car but couldn't locate the exact location the noise was coming from. When I opened the drivers door the noise stopped. This has happened only one time that I know of but if its an electrical short it could cause a fire.”
