Consumer Description

AFTER TURNING THE KEY SMOKE CAME UP FROM UNDER THE FRONT HOOD. IN SPITE OF TAKING THE KEY OUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO MAKE NOISE. OCCASIONALLY THE ENGINED STOPPED, BUT THEN STARTED AGAIN. EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN UP IN FLAMES. I WANT TO REPORT THIS AND FOUND OUT IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *AK
