MY CAR KEY WAS NOT STARTING THE CAR LAST FEW WEEKS AND I REPLACED THE BATTERY OF THE KEY. THAT SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT ON THAT DAY THE "NO KEY" MESSAGE SHOWED AGAIN. AFTER A FEW TRIES I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR. AFTER A FEW MINS I STARTED HEAR A SMELL AND SMOKE, PULLED OVER AND FIRE STARTED. SOME ONE IN THE PARKING LOT HAD AN EXTINGUISHER AND I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE THE FIRE STARTED FROM THE FLOOR BETWEEN DRIVER SEAT AND THE DOOR AFTER THE FIRE I CAN SEE THAT THE POWER CABLE AREA IS WHERE IT STARTED
