My wife was driving the car, about 70 mph on route 84 passing danbury ct. She was traveling in the middle lane, some kind of oil light went on the dashboard, car shut down while traveling 70 mph on the highway, and caught on fire under the hood. She managed to pull over, and got out of the car with my daughter. This is a 2019 car with 14K miles.
When aggressively accelerating to merge or pass another driver, the 2.0t engine paired with an AWD platform will loose power and 3 sensor lights will flash and illuminate traction control, AWD and check engine indicating a cylinder misfire. Event occurred first at 2000 miles and vehicles serviced at dealership and second event occurred at 4500 miles and returned to original dealership where purchased.
