At 1:10 am the 2018 Mercedes Benz gla spontaneously caught fire. The car was parked in my garage and had not been used in over 6 hours. The car had 11,000 miles on it. It was last serviced by mb of coconut creek one month earlier for the routine 10K service. The only problem we had with the car was once the air-conditioning failed to work. I believe the mb dealership said it was a faulty relay. The car was only serviced by mb at the dealership where we bought the car. The ensuing fire consumed my garage and destroyed my house. Eventually the fire hit our fuse box cutting the power to the home. The loss of electricity woke me up. I heard a strange noise and investigated. I saw my house on fire and woke everyone up and we escaped unharmed. Representatives from Mercedes and my homeowners insurance will be conducting an investigation of December 5th at 9:00 am at my home at 21311 falls ridge way, boca raton fl 33428
