Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My fingers were burnned when i touched the inside right-side wall of the ash tray in my 2002 chevrolet s-10 pickup. later on i figured out it's a design flaw. when you drive the car more than 20 minutes at night, the illuminating light inside the ash tray heats the inside right-side wall to extremely hot, which has the potential to cause a fire. to prevent the bad thing happens, i keep the ash tray opened to let heat dissipate out.*ak
