Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This was not a crash. the vehicle was sitting in the driveway turned off. it would not start in the morning and about two hours later the ignition wiring caught on fire. the steering column and dash board were melted. the front seat caught on fire. the front windshield cracked in a large circle the size of a basketball. there was smoke damage inside the vehicle and to the items in the trunk. the fire dept said that if the windshield would have broken all the way through that the vehicle would have exploded. as it was, the lack of oxygen put out the fire.
