Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving to school, i went to pushing my cigarette lighter and when i did i noticed that there was an odd smell coming from the car, then i noticed smoke coming from under the console where you put the car in gear, then i had to pull over the car because there was so much smoke that i couldn't see and i could hear a crackling sizzling noise, so i pulled at the piece that covers up the gears and seen that the wires where burning it looked as if where the spring that light dynamite or something so i did the only thing i could do i poured my soda on the wires because i was scared the car might have blown up with me and my 10 mo. old boy and 3 year old girl right there. *nm
