Description of the problem	On the 19th of april, my vehicle was performing normally. On the 20th of april, the vehicle was unable to attain normal driving speeds; top speed was around 20 mph. As a result, we chose to return home immediately and to bring the vehicle to the dealership the next day. On the 21st, around 10:15 a. M., i began to drive the vehicle to the dealership. However, after approximately 1. 5 miles, the engine began cutting out completely and there was a strange odor. I got the vehicle restarted and pulled into an adjacent parking lot. I parked the vehicle and shut it off. I found a nearby store from which i could call home. When i stepped back outside i was unable to see the vehicle due to smoke. I returned to the store and immediately called 911. By the time i stepped back outside, there were visible flames. Police and fire responded, but the vehicle was a complete loss.
