What owners wrote
The car caught on fire by itself, a car only with 13,000 miles and 1 year of usage that means almost brand new car. I drove 9 miles aprox. From home to my work location. When I arrive and park the car before going upstairs, I saw the car blowing unusual smoke from the engine compartment, I opened the hood and I saw the fire was coming between the engine and the radiator.
When you let off the gas pedal and then reapply the car will not respond. You have to keep pressing and releasing the gas pedal til the car respond. It does it when leaving from a stop in traffic and if you are driving down the street.
