What owners wrote
While driving on the beltway, the car accelerated then started slow down. I merged off of the beltway and onto a ramp to get somewhere safe. At the ramp the car light of the air bag came on then, the car came to a stop, and all the lights came on. And the hood of the car was smoking. I lifted the hood and saw the fire under the engine. We moved away from the car and luckily a man in a work truck saw us and had a fire extinguisher and put the fire out.
Wear or corrosion on the front speed sensor hardness LED to the disabling of all traction/stability control, rear park assist, ABS and airbag operation.
