The vehicle does when in reverse and you step on the accelerator. Gas gauge reads empty even with fuel in it and fluctuates between empty and full. Vehicle stalls when going around a corner or coming to a stop.. Foul smell coming from the exhaust into the cab. All dash gauges go off. Check engine light is on. Received two different codes 1) o2 sensor bad & 2) p1861.
Took a short drive. Turned off the vehicle. After a couple minutes smoke and flames were coming out of the hood. Grabbed a fire extinguisher opened the hood and put out the fire on the passenger side. The air filter housing was melted.embers were still spreading along the insulation attached to the hood. Manually removed the spreading embers with some tools. Not sure the cause. Also why is the insulation made of a material that is not fireproof?

I drove to my friends house, and 15 minutes later my car was engulfed in flames! The fire chief said it was an electrical problem that started the fire. My car was not running, and I was not in it.
2 times I have had my running and the doors lock. I had to call a locksmith. Now the locks go on and off and the headlight and inside lights come on when turned off? This has happened when car was in park but also the locking and unlocking while driving.
When we purchased the car I noticed when I selected the seat setting it said it was set. When I went to drive the vehicle again I selected seat one and it had the error messages as in the pictures.
My vehicle, while in motion on a city street, became uncontrollable. This happened when I accidentally hit the key in the ignition and it turned it to the off position. I suddenly lost control of the steering, brakes and nearly my mind! Luckily I was able to get the car into neutral and roll to a stop. I feel lucky to have gotten out of the situation with my life! If I had been on a busier street, going at a faster speed, I am certain the situation would have lead to dire consequences.
