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
