description: The 2020 Range Rover, under warranty with 33,200 miles, has been inspected by the insurance and determined to be a total loss due to an electrical failure that caused the SUV to catch fire. The driver and a 4 year old were in the vehicle when the electrical failure started. The fire was behind the child seat, on the rear right hand seat, in the trunk compartment. The risk of serious bodily injury or death to a 4 year old and a female adult passenger was imminent. On May 23, 2023, departed my residence in San Diego, CA in my 2020 Land Rover Range Rover (hereafter referred to as LRRR) at approx 8:30 am with my 4 year old son, seated, buckled and secured in his car seat, positioned in the rear passenger side of the LRRR, enroute to his preschool, located at the Schwartz Federal Building in San Diego, CA 92101. It is an approximate 12-15 minute drive and 7 miles one direction on both surface streets and highways. The weather was cloudy approximately 65 degrees F, clear visibility on the road and dry. Approx 10 minutes into the drive, we were traveling southbound on Interstate 15 and transitioning to Highway 94 westbound we smelled something âfunnyâ which at the time I could best describe as burning celery. As I was driving in moderate morning commuter traffic, I lowered the windows and we still smelled the odor, I raised the windows and still smelled the odor and then again lowered the windows with no change and no ability to determine if the odor was internal or external.
