There was an electrical fire in my steering wheel column caused by the wiring I had my 3 week old son in the car and had to call the fire department to get it out I have not found out yet how badly the vehicle has been damaged.
The wiring in the passenger's sunvisor electrical mirror short circuited, causing the wiring harness on the driver's side to catch on fire. Dealer had to replace the wiring harness with a new design wiring harness.
Wiring harness burned and the automatic door locks locked passenger in vehicle. Took vehicle in for repair but did not get work done because it was out of warranty.
