What owners wrote
Electrical fire: opened car to go to work in the morning 10/17/18 and found that inside my car it was covered in soot. Then noticed arm rest console was melted and underneath was melted down; exposing wires. Also upper light in top, front, center was melted (from heat). Car was parked in drive way of my home. Thankful windows were up so no oxygen could fuel the fire. This could have caused more damage to the vehicle and possibly caught the house on fire with my family inside.
The radio continues to beep & change stations while nobody is touching anything. The heated seat turns itself off & the passenger side temperature randomly changes itself while no one has touched anything all while driving down the road. It occurs on city streets and at highway speeds also.
