Q7

  • 160,000 miles
Turned on the car and within a few minutes smoke filled up the whole car. The smoke was coming from the rear wiper from the inside. Seems to be coming from the wiper motor but can't tell until I take the plastic cover off. Started smoking immediately every time I turned the car on, tested it a total of 3 times. Strange caramel colored residue left on the back window from the inside. Smells terrible. The car was stationary the whole tome and parked in a neighborhood. Surprised a fire didn't start because of the amount of smoke. Some research on this saying some people had an actual fire inside the car.
