What owners wrote
While driving smelled strange odor inside driver door panel, then noticed door glowing, saw sparks and flames, door caught fire and promptly extinquished.
While driving I turned on air conditioner and immediately light smoke began out of air conditioning vents and then the next moment the smoke was extremely heavy out of the vents and then visible fire underneath front passenger side dashboard. I immediately pulled the vehicle off the side of the road and exited, 10 minutes later it was fully engulfed in flames.
