What owners wrote
While driving at 40 MPH smoke started coming into the vents, and consumer was able to drive to a gas station. Someone put water on the fire and the fire went out. Alternator overheated due to bad bearings and did not stop smoking until battery was disconnected.
While merging onto I95 north my car shut completely off in the middle of moving traffic. I didn't even realize it was off until my little girl asked me to turn the radio back and my speed begin to decrease. It's very difficult to steer such a huge tank like my lesabre when the power steering gives. It cranks right up after shutting off as if nothing is even wrong, but this has happened always in stop and go traffic.
