While the consumer was driving they witnessed smoke coming from the ventilation vents. After witnessing the smoke, the consumer pulled over and got out of the vehicle. The instrument panel caught flames. A nearby driver put the fire out with the extinguisher, and the fire department was contacted. They determined that the fire was caused by a loose wire that touched the metal and sparked a fire. The dealership has been contacted but not the manufacturer.
