NHTSA Complaint #11598699 — 2020 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA

Driving and stopped at a traffic light, car engin stopped then when I tried to start the engin burning smell and smoke came from under the hood. Took the car to the dealership and they advised me that the starter had been completely burned out but yet they don't know why or how. This incident had made me fearful for my kids, wife and my life, the starter is close to gas lines and that could have caused an explosion. I am not sure how can the starter burn in flames when there is a relay and fuses to protect the regulation of current going into the starter. Thanks
