The consumer's vehicle ignited and caught fire due to contents next to vehicle igniting. The dealer, where the vehicle was towed to suggested the cause of the fire was due to "fix a flat." The manufacturer representative and the fire department, determined the fire started due to the exhaust system which was directly under the area that burned.
