My was driving the unit for about two minutes from the starting point. Then, all the lights of the dashboard turn on. When she tried to move the vehicle to the emergency lane, a black smoke start to go inside of the vehicle and a engine fire started. Rapidly, she left the car to a safe place and the fire consumed the entire vehicle. The car was declared total loss by the insurance.
While driving at highway speed, the rear of the car started swaying slightly. Several passing motorists motioned me to pull over. Upon inspection, we noticed the rear chassis on both sides had pulled away from the body of the vehicle, causing the rear wheels to tilt in from the top and out from the bottom.
