Description of the problem | Driving down the highway it sounded like something flew under my car and suddenly started smoking and a flame came out. There was loud banging under the hood: like a boom. We pulled to the side of the highway before it completely died and it caught sparks. We do not have any photos since this happened in the middle of the night. |
