Description of the problem	I was driving approximately 20 mph making a left turn when the car abruptly powered down the inside lights, outside lights, heat, etc turned off. The vehicle continued to make loud noises as if i was trying to start the car, but i had taken the key out of the ignition. I then noticed the battery warning light was on and then i smelled smoke. I was stuck in the intersection with the car stuck in park i kept pressing the brake, to shift to neutral but the car wouldn't change gears or even turn on at this point. I continued to smoke and i smelled fire so i grabbed all of my things and exited the vehicle. It was raining and a good samaritan popped the hood and the hard cold rain put out the fire. I waited until a tow truck told the car to the dealer. I was told that the battery and starter caught on fire.
