Description of the problem	I was driving home on the highway from dinner with my fiance and son who's 10 years old doing about 65. The engine felt like it was stuttering shaking and i looked at my dash board and all my lights were blinking. I pulled off the highway and started to smell something burning. I got out and looked under the hood and it was on fire. I took our sodas from the car from the restaurant to try n put it out but it didn't help so i told both my fiance and son to get out of the car and we got away from it so we didn't get injured and all we could do is stand there and watch it burn.
