| Description of the problem | Ii noticed a weird smell coming from the engine for a about month but didn't think anything of it. I was driving on my way to work when my car started smoking, shut off, and caught on fire! Had this car for not even 1 year when this incident happened. Took good care of the car, took it to get oil changes. Not sure how this can randomly happen. |
