At 3:30 p.m. on 1/19/99 my daughter stopped at a friends house and parked the 99 honda civic ex just outside her friend's garage. she left the sunroof open slightly and removed the ignition keys. at 4:15 p.m when she came out to get into the car to leave, she noticed smoke coming out of the sunroof and could not see inside the windows. her friend called 911. however the car was totally engulfed in flames by the time the fire truck arrived. the car was a total loss and property damage included the vinyl siding that melted & buckled on the side of the garage. it's a sheer miracle that no one was hurt and no more damage was done. had it occurred in the middle of the night when the car was parked in the garage, the house would have caught on fire. my husband contacted the piedmont honda dealership 1/19/99 around 9:30 a.m. however they were not interested in the fact that our honda caught on fire for what has to be an electrical defect of some sort.
