Warning panel light flashes on and off intermittently. Dealership is aware of problem. Engine is not cranking properly.
Spouse was leaving house driving out the driveway when she stop the car due to smoke coming from center console. She turned the vehicle off and informed me of smoke and smell in vehicle. I got a fire extinguisher and ran to car. No visible fire present or smoke but just a burned electrical smell. Inspected wiring that was visible around center console and nothing discovered at that time. Vented car and restarted with no increase in burned smell or more smoke. Operationally checked vehicle and had no radio sound.
