Description of the problem	The car started to rattle and started to not be able to accelerate. I pulled the car to the side of a semi busy road and let it sit for a moment while turned off and then after 30 seconds turned the car back on. I started to drive the car and turned down a residential road (rothrock circle copley, oh) and that is when things got really bad. The car was in motion and started to act even stranger. It had issues accelerating again and then while driving down the road the lunged forward and then white smoke and flames came from under the cars front end. I jumped out of the car after turning it off, grabbed my personal items and ran off incase of an explosion. I called 911instantly and while on the phone with copley police my car was engulfed in flames. Firefighters came out and started to extinguish the flames but it was too late and the whole front of the car was melted, burned, and destroyed.
