What owners wrote
Started vehicle and proceeded to drive forward in my driveway when smoke started coming in the vehicle. Noticed after driving that the smoke was coming in the vehicle from under the glove box on the passenger side by the floor mat. Within approximately two minutes a flame ignited in which the dashboard caught on re. The whole inside on the vehicle was destroyed & totaled the whole vehicle. I have about 25 more pictures of the car (after the re and during) that I couldnt send via this webform.
