Description of the problem	My car shutdown while i was on the road, thurs. Sept. 20th, 2018 at 10 pm.. I couldn't get to turn back over, couldn't get the hazards to want to stay on, steering wheel locked up. I called 911 based on the fact i was on a back road, and had vehicles passing me in the middle of the night. I then noticed an odd smell, which i mentioned to 911. Less than a minute later, smoke began pouring through the vents. As they ask my location, i noticed a flicker outside my window towards the front end of the vehicle (almost looked like it came from the wheel well). I got out, answered the question, as the entire front end of my car was on fire. Within a matter of minutes, the entire car was engulfed. The fire department reacted quickly, but the car was a loss. I'm currently waiting to hear back from insurance, as i had recently bought the vehicle in feb. Of 2017, with no knowledge of any problems.
