On friday, 7/12, while my wife, [xxx] along with my 5 children, were sitting at a stoplight in olathe, ks near the intersection of 119th and blackbob , she noticed smoke coming from under the hood. As the light turned green and she accelerated forward, turning west onto 119th st. Within seconds of the light turning green, flames were noticed coming from the underside of the front passenger section of the car.
Vehicle lost motive power while attempting to excelerate from a stop on a city street. Vehicle was restarted but loud clunking noise and violent shaking came from engine compartment. Vehicle was towed and has been at the local dealer since with little communication about a prognosis or permanent fix.
