Description of the problem	Hi my car caught fire!! The car began smoking thick white smoke through the air conditioning and when we pulled off the street and opened the hood the car was in fire. I really don't feel safe in that car. This would be the 4th time i take it to the dealer. First 3 times was for the air container not working properly, evaporator and some other parts were replaced and now it went up in flames. They say the car is fine but i just don't feel safe any more. This happened 6/29/15 my car is only 8 months old i bought it 10/27/14. I am very concern for other people who have this same car it is not safe.
