VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY CAUGHT FIRE IN THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE. FIRE INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL AND PAID SUBSTANTIAL ATTENTION TO THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE DASH AREA ON BOTH THE INBOARD AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT SIDES OF THE DASH. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH PAST REPORTS OF FIRES STARTING DUE TO THE HEATED WASHER FLUID SYSTEM WHICH THIS VEHICLE HAD. THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON THIS CAR.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES - CHROME PLATING IS PEELING AWAY FROM PLASTIC UNDERNEATH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER HANDLE. THIS PEELING CHROME CUTS FLESH. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON 'SOME' 2007 MODELS, HOWEVER, SINCE THIS IS CAUSING INJURY I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED/REPLACED ON ALL MODELS WITH CHROME PLATED HANDLES THAT INCUR THIS PROBLEM. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER THE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A DEFECT ACROSS THE BOARD. *TR
