What owners wrote
While car was unattended at night and parked in the driveway, a fire started, apparently under the drivers seat. The fire burned through the seat and into the driver side door, starting at the bottom and continuing up to the window opening. The drivers door would not open the next day and all the windows were completely smoked over so the interior was not visible. We entered the vehicle through the passenger door and discovered the damage. This event occurred during the night of 12/6/17.
Jan 2018, the system airbag light came on while driving took it into the shop and turns out the airbag module itself has to be removed and replaced. How annoying is this on a still fairly new vehicle. Let's keep in mind I just brought it in to the shop dec 2017 for a dead battery because apparently I auto started it to much.
