I have owned the car for less than one month. I bought it from an as-is dealer with one-year warranty on the transmission. We found smoke came from under the hood on january 21, and had my car checked by a mechanic. The reported problem was power steering leaking and then the related pressure and return hoses were replaced. It seemed ok. But on january 26, my car was suddenly on fire when we were driving with our teacher. We had to call 911 to smother the fire. Many wirings were damaged, thus the car cannot be driven anymore. And later we still found the power steering leaking. In both cases, the instrument panel demonstrated everything was ok even when three persons were on fire! Is the auto safe? Could you please tell me how to find an authorized office in reno, nv to inspect the cause of the vehicle fire? Thank you.
