| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I smelled smoke in my vehicle, so i pulled over. it seemed to be coming from the vent. my friend thought it was electical, so he started pulling fuses to stop the problem. i discerned that the problem was the motor that opened and closed the automatic door opener on the van. i told my friend to just get out and i called the fire department immediately, but by the time they had arrived my car was fully engulfed in flames. i am thankful that i did not have my children with me at the time as i don't know if i could have gotten them out in time. my three year old would have been in the built-in car seat which is next to the door. the fire happened so fast. i might add i have never had any problems with the door or automatic door opener. my car was totaled. *ak |
