What owners wrote
I live in a one family house with an attached garage. My wife parked the car,with 1/3 of a tank of gas,in our garage about 6:30 pm on august 17. She thought she had pushed the button to turn off the engine, and exited the car taking the smart key with her. About 9 the next morning, while walking my dog, I felt heat coming from the garage and opened the door. It was very hot to touch. I then touched the car and burned my hand. I called our local fire department and they pulled the car out of the garage.
First instance: while driving on the highway going 60MPH my car powered down, preventing me from controlling the car. The gauges and lights inside the car went dark and MPH went to 0. I lost electrical power and after 1 minute the car is back to normal. Second instance: as I was pulling into a driveway and went over a bump the car lost power and powered down, I naturally pressed the gas before I understood what was wrong, the car powers back up as I'm pressing the gas and caused me to almost hit another car.
