What owners wrote
Went to the dealer to report a smell coming out of the engine as well as a squeaking noise when the accelerator is pressed either stationary or in motion. The dealer representative told me that there is a recall on the car but they don't have a remedy yet. I read about the recall. On my question 'what is going to happen if the engine catches fire?' the representative told me that they haven't seen any cars of this model to catch fire yet.
