What owners wrote
While driving from oklahoma to california (specifically kingman, az to barstow, ca), my engine spontaneously caught on fire. It was put out immediately by a good samaritan. After the fire, there was oil leakage all over the highway and where it was towed; there was also gas leakage. It was towed to the dealership on 6/7/18. They say that there was no motor oil prior to the fire starting so are blaming me for the fire.
The vehicle stalled after 3 minutes while stopped at a red light. I had to turn on the hazard lights, put the car transmission in park, and re-start. Same incident happened again a week after.
