What owners wrote
On 5/11 my wife was driving when she heard a clicking sound. She was not far from the dealership and decided to drive the car in to get looked at. As she got close to the dealership the vehicle started to smoke. She pulled over to a safe location where she could get out and as she was pulling over the vehicle started to flame. She immediately grabbed the dog and jumped out of the car and called 911. Withinjust a couple minutes of exiting the vehicle it was fully engulfed in flames and exploded.
