Tire monitor is reading wrong information which is causing consumer to pull over to change tire.. consumer states the pressure is between 31 to 33 psa, the tire monitor never came to warn of tire failure, when the tire had a hole in the side wall consumer stated he could stick his hand through the tire.
While vehicle was in park and idling, a fire started unexpectedly on dashboard near cigarette lighter. Consumer was able to extinguish the fire before any injury occurred. Dealership examined vehicle and could not determine cause of the fire because there were no malfunctions with cigarette lighter, and there were no other electrical systems near the area where fire started. Please provide any additional information / documentation / photographs.
