ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 10TH, 2001, AS I WAS DRIVING, SMOKE STARTECOME OUT OF BOTH EXITS WHERE MY REAR SEAT SHOULDER HARNESS SEATBELTS RELEASE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND RUN TO A BUSINESS FOR HELP. A GENTLEMAN SPRAYED SPRAYED THE FIRE EXTINGISHER INTO THE OPENING ON THE SIDE WALLS WHERE SMOKE WAS COMING OUT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED ALSO. THE FIREMAN CHECKED MY FUSE BUX AND FOUND A FUSE MELTED INTO THE BOX. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY - WESTERN GENERAL - SAYS THE PART BETWEEN THE SEAT AND PANEL WAS BENT MAKING WIRES TOUCH AND START A FIRE. THE DEALER WON'T ADMIT ANYTHING. THEY GUTTED THE WHOLE INSIDE, BENDING THE PART WESTERN GENERAL MENTIONED, IN ORDER TO GET TO THE WIRING UNDERNEATH.
