Suspenion and or traction was and the electrical system didnt work good.
Leading up to the event of the fire, occasionally the "door ajar" button would flash during driving, the alarm would randomly go off, and the lights inside the vehicle would flash at random times. This was never a pattern, and the car went periods of time with nothing happening to it. One morning, I opened the car door and found the entire inside to be burned out. The first started in the middle console.
Was using the 4 wheel drive in when the engine started smoking and the engine compartment caught on fire, then the cab started burning and then the whole car caught on fire and exploded.
After adjusting steering wheal up and down the harness was broken due to short harness under dash I didn't notice it until the electrical sys failed.
