Failure Date: 01/03/2014

I turned on my 2007 mercedes Gl450 in my driveway to warm it up and 1 minute later the horn continually went off. I turned the car off and the horn continued. Smoke began from the passenger rear tail light, then a flame. 911 was called the moment we saw smoke. Within seconds the back seat was engulfed in flames and then the entire car. The flames were as high as my 2 story home. There is nothing left of this car. The amount of broken glass from all the windows blowing out down my driveway is unbelievable.
