I was driving on the highway, on the way to the beach with my family and our pup! We heard a pop and thought maybe it was the tire but the engine began smoking. I pulled the vehicle over as safely as possible. I popped the hood and there was a fire. Everyone evacuated the vehicle as quickly and safely as possible. I was the last to get out of the vehicle. Within minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. We stood there and watched the only vehicle we have completely burn up. I cried and I watched my kids cry. What was supposed to be a beach day for us to distress and relax turned into us almost losing our lives on the highway. We are thankful for the state trooper, the fire department, and the paramedics who all arrived on scene and kept my family safe. Im thankful our lives weren’t lost. However we still faced a life or death situation today.

Driving on the road and freeway, the dashboard lights and radio go out and I loose power steering, this is an ongoing and sporadic problem. Took it to the dealer and they could not replicate the problem. They recommended to replace the both battery cables, I replace them but continue to have the problem, I believe it is an ignition switch problem, but there is no recall on my VIN number

When the car starts the steering locks up and makes the car difficult to drive. The brakes also grind and the transmission makes noises. The electrical components malfunction and lights and sounds flicker on and off. All of these things have been looked into by a mechanic and they cannot find a solution as to why the electric malfunctioning and steering is locking up.
