What owners wrote

Driving our newly purchased 4 week old suburban down I95. Following a bathroom break at a rest stop, we loaded up in the car, started it via the push ignition and drove down the on ramp onto the highway. Within seconds, smoke began billowing from the hood. A fire under the hood ensued. We were traveling at approximately 30-40MPH, when the smoke became suddenly heavy. We pulled over and parked the car on the shoulder and attempted to turn it off.
