Car sitting parked on 70f day for 4 hours. It had been driven for about 25 minutes before that at 60-65MPH. I went to open the car door and noticed that the trunk was unlocking repeatedly. Opened the car door and watched smoke pour out. Entire left-hand side of the front passenger seat had burned and the right-hand side of the center armrest had melted. The headliner had been burned on the right-hand side of the car as well.
