TURNED ON THE CAR AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES SMOKE FILLED UP THE WHOLE CAR. THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR WIPER FROM THE INSIDE.

SURPRISED A FIRE DIDN'T START BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE. SOME RESEARCH ON THIS SAYING SOME PEOPLE HAD AN ACTUAL FIRE INSIDE THE CAR.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK THE CAR TO GET CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED
