What owners wrote
Smelled smoke at a stop light. Continued when light turned green. Pulled over about 30 car lengths later because smoke was coming in the vents. Jumped out of car and ran. Within 2 minutes, entire front engine was completely engulfed in flames. No indicator light came on before. Car was driving perfect.
Car hesitates to accelerate from a complete stop, accelerating while coming out of turn, or slowing down and accelerating again. Also seems to be using a lot of gas. Haven't calculated it yet but can see the fuel gauge lower as I'm driving. Car only has 17000 miles.
