I bought that SUV on 12/9/16. On 17/1/17 I delivered (dealer) it for repair, I mean, to function for first time the interior (soffit) lights. On 21/2/17 they delivered (to me) the unit, after installed a new fuse box (sent from the manufacturer). On 4/ix/17 (night) from the left side of the soffit began to outburst smoke/burning smell. At the end, the left side of the soffit and the base of the sun protector (with mirrior) were burned. Next day, I took the vehicle to the dealer, and they have it yet.
