Front Seat Power Adjust Problems of Land Rover Discovery

My vehicle was parked with the engine off and the ignition set in the full "off" position. My wife and I were in the vehicle preparing to depart. The control console between the front seats began to emit smoke and a burning smell in the passenger compartment. Within 30 seconds, the console caught fire and emitted a noxious cloud of smoke in the passenger compartment. My wife and I evacuated the vehicle, and I obtained a fire extinguisher from a nearby business and extinguished the fire. I suspected that an electrical short caused the fire, and I disconnected the battery. The entire incident occured while the engine was off and the ignition set in the full "off" position. I believe that the electrical fire in my vehicle was caused by a manufacturing defect and/or design defect. Given the speed and the location of the fire that it caused, the manufacturing and/or design defect in this vehicle presents a substantial risk of death or serious harm to drivers and passengers. In the interests of public safety, this problem should be investigated and redressed as soon as possible.
