Consumer Description

II NOTICED A WEIRD SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE FOR A ABOUT MONTH BUT DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT. I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN MY CAR STARTED SMOKING, SHUT OFF, AND CAUGHT ON FIRE! HAD THIS CAR FOR NOT EVEN 1 YEAR WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. TOOK GOOD CARE OF THE CAR, TOOK IT TO GET OIL CHANGES. NOT SURE HOW THIS CAN RANDOMLY HAPPEN. *TR
