I ORDERED A SUPER SIZED DRINK THAT WAS TOO LARGE TO FIT IN THE CUP HOLDER, SO I SAT THE DRINK IN THE CENTER CONSOLE TO KEEP IT STABILE WHILE I DROVE HOME. A CAR DROVE THRU THE STOP SIGN WITHOUT STOPPING AND I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP AND THE DRINK TIPPED OVER IN THE CONSOLE. I REMOVED THE CONSOLE THINKING I CAN WIPE OFF WHATEVER I CAN WIPE OFF , LET THE AREA AIR DRY FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT REMAINED ON WHILE DRIVING. *TR
