What owners wrote
The car caught fire from inside the cab. I'm not sure why or what happened exactly but it burnt. It was a total loss. Luckily it was stationary when it happened
When this problem first occured in my car, none of the gauges on the car worked. All were inactive including speedometer, gas meter, car temp, and RPM meter. The air conditioning was not working and the radio was not working either. At this time the car was running, and I was on a highway. The engine was still running. I took it to the dealership immediately to have the problem fixed. A few days later my car was returned to me and less than 100 miles later the car malfunctioned again in the same manner.
