I was in the front passenger seat. I put the car cigarette lighter into its holder and inadvertently pressed it in all the way. After a few minutes it flew out of its space, it was all lite up and fell to the floor of the car where it began to burn the mat. I picked it up and got a 2nd degree burn on my finger. We could not believe that it happened so we put the lighter back in the holder and pressed it in. It flew out again.
