Narrative

USB 12V connector caught fire and melted the panel while car was off Yes it is available for inspection upon request If it would have happened while driving it would’ve put all passengers at risk It has not been confirmed by a dealer It hasn’t been inspected by mfg. insurance or police. There were no warning lamps, symptoms or msg. prior to the failure this happened 7/31/2023 I was unloading my groceries from the back when I came back out to get more bags, I noticed that the cabin was full of smoke. I’m trying to get an estimate to replace it so I can file a claim with my insurance company.
