Driving at approximately 30MPH passing vehicle allerted me of fire and smoke coming from my rear. As I slowed down flames and smoke increased. Smoke filled interior upon my exiting. Rear fire co0ntinued to burn until fire department. Dooused car with water. Police report taken. Car taken to repair shop and declared to expensive to repair.
The electrical is the main issue. Nothing stars. The car don't turn on, won't even lock and it random happened. I went to work and it seemed like everything was fine but when I clocked out .. My car wouldn't even start. I check my battery & it was fine. Then I checked online & I noticed that I wasn't even the only person dealing with this issue.
