Brand new Kia Soul 2010 - less than 500 miles. Electrical fire in the door panel while driving. Towed to dealer, who replaced door panel. Led light transmitter in speakers shorted and melted plastic inside door. Response from Kia (advised by dealer) was "don't leave the speaker lights in on position. Only use them when you need them." This was the second same incident that the dealer had that week.
