Five Hundred

  • Automatic transmission
  • 64,000 miles
Reference original voq#10301954. My car had a fire in the trunk while we were drivng. The trunk was loaded with clothes and other items. A fire occured and totaled the car. Upon inspection by a fire forensic investigator, it was determined the fire originated from a wiring harnes on the right rear side of the trunk that goes to the rear lights. The wiring harness chafed against the body causing a short to ground that led to the fire.
