I WAS THE OWNER OF A 2014 CADILLAC ESCALADE. ON AUGUST 26, 2015, WHILE DRIVING I PLUGGED IN MY CELL PHONE CHARGER INTO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER. SPARKS AND SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. I PULLED OVER TO A SIDE STREET. NO SOONER THAN I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT, THE ENTIRE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, THE DOORS,SEATS, CONSOLE BURST INTO FLAMES. THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE AS WELL. THIS WAS A DEVASTATING INCIDENT TO ENDURE. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE
