The contact owns a 2003 Kia Sedona. The vehicle was trying to start by itself. The windshield wipers were on and there was smoke in the vehicle and flames on the driver's side emergency brake. The contact's husband put the flames out before the fire department responded. The fire was first noticed from the drivers side where the emergency brake was located. The vehicle was not operating unusually before. The vehicle had been parked for about two hours before the fire was noticed. The dealership told her husband at this point they believed this was started from the low jack installation which was installed by the dealership. The police reported to the scene, and after arson was ruled out they handed the situation over to the fire department. The contact going there tonight to pick up the fire department's report. The horn did not work.
