I opened the front door and saw it was indeed in flames and popping and smoking. I immediately called 911 whom sent out the fire department. After they were able to distinguish the fire, they determined the cause to be electrical in nature considering the battery of the vehicle was completely gone. I have the case number as well. …”

You have to put the key back in and take it out again to get the dinging to stop. 2. I have two cigarette lighter receptacles (now known as 12v accessory sockets). Cannot use both at the same time as it causes the TPMS light to come on. …”
