Description of the Problem: I am reporting a severe vehicle fire that occurred with my 2015 BMW X4 (VIN: [XXX}) on [XXX], while I was driving on [XXX] in Orlando, Florida. This was a life-threatening incident. I narrowly escaped death as flames suddenly engulfed the front of the vehicle while I was on the road. For nearly two hours, it felt like a horror show. I am still in shock.
While driving during morning rush hour traffic approximately 0645, the vehicle became sluggish and eventually began shake vigorously. I was in the passing lane with vehicles driving at at speeds up to approximately 65 to 80 MPH. The drive train error came on and indicated 'drive moderately.' given that I was 3 miles from entering the monitor merrimack memorial bridge tunnel I had to make the decision to stop in the past lane or coast to the center lane between and on ramp and two lanes of traffic whizzing past.
