What owners wrote

I had smelled something in my car for a while and could not figure out what it was. About 15 mins into my trip, my eyes started to burn and tear, and my nose felt like it was on fire. But I got it subsided. Another 15 mins later I looked over at my passenger side window and realized my car was smoking and it was coming from my sun visor. I had to wait to get to the shoulder of the road as I was in the I-pass lane and had to get past a cement wall before getting my car safely away from other traffic.
