Description of the problem	June 18, 2019-driving on highway, started to pass a slow moving vehicle, pressed accelerator and it would not go faster at first, then it did go a little faster. I moved back into driving lane and proceeded but i slowed down to 55 mph (posted speed limit 70) . Kept losing speed, put on emergency flashers, as i was exiting off highway to safe spot smoke started billowing from behind vehicle. Stopped car, as good was opened a small fire turned larger. I grabbed my fire extinguisher from back storage compartment and extinguished fire. Tow truck driver arrived, needing to make sure it could be towed without a possible reignition of fire, he removed the cover and asked me to attempt to put vehicle in neutral to be able to push it back to a position to be able to get it on tow truck. Push button start, two push for accessory position. Tow truck driver witnessed fuel squirting from a fuel line near the fuel regulator. Tow truck driver could actually insert his pen top into the size hole that is there. Vehicle towed to car dealership where we purchase it new. I am still waiting to hear if the dealership was able to get it in the shop this week, if not they said it would be monday june 24, 2019. Pictures attached. No invoices yet except the tow invoice which i need to submit to my insurance company for reimbursement. In researching any unknown recalls on this vehicle, i found this information today and attached my screenshot.
