DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH, THERE WAS BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL. THE SMOKE GOT DARKER AND THE CONTACT PULLED OVER. AN ORANGE GLOW WAS NOTICED BETWEEN THE CONTROLS AND A BOTTLE OF WATER WAS POURED IN THE DOOR TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRING SYSTEM THAT CAUSED THE FIRE. THE WIRES WERE REPAIRED. THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH WAS REPLACED.

THE FUEL GUAGE HAS NOT BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY FOR LAST MONTH. I AM NOT SURE THAT THE GUAGE ITSELF OR FUEL SENDING UNIT IS CAUSING THIS VERY RARE PROBLEM. THINK THERE IS THE SHORT-CIRCUIT SOMEWHERE. AND I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. WHAT IF THIS SHORT-CIRCUIT CAUSES SPARKS IN OR NEAR THE FUEL TANK. WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS RARE PROBLEM BEFORE I TAKE MY CAR TO DELARSHIP-SERVICE.*AK
