What owners wrote
was driving on the highway to a friends house, while i was driving a another vehicle was telling me to pull over and that there was smoke and fire underneath the car, i pulled over and crossed the bridge where there was light, once i got across i got out of the car and saw fire coming from the hood, i tried to put it out and that didn't work, so the good Samaritan who told me to pull over told me to get my son and get in her car because there was no way to save the car.
