What owners wrote
While parked an electrical short in the front wiring harness, caused vehicle to catch on fire. Vehicle was destroyed by fire. *slc
Woke at 4:00am to the smoke and fire of our vehicle fully engulfed in flames from the engine compartment. The vehicle was located in our driveway. It was parked at about 9:50am the day before..roughly about 18 hours before it caught on fire. My wife and mother in law got our three kids out into the back yard. Two of the kids were within 20-25 ft. Of the fire when they were sleeping. I went out to the garage and tried extinguishing the fire with a fire extinguisher, but was unable to do any good.
