“On august 27, 2012, while shopping in the mall, I came out side to the fire department putting a fire out that looks to have occurred while I was in the store.

NHTSA complaint #10479339, filed 2012-10, 33,000 miles“I have a 2007 Saab 9-3. It has a plastic cover/protector under the dash over the pedals.

This connector sticks out below other points and causes the most interference. …”
