What owners wrote
I entered the highway and my power steering light came on. I then lost power steering. Immediately got off at the next exit and pulled into the gas station. As I exited my vehicle I observed smoke coming from the hood vents. The engine bay then became fully engulfed in flames and the fire department responded to extinguish the fire. Vehicle is total loss.
Multiple cylinder misfires. Engine running with vehicle in motion. First occurrence at 160 miles on brand new vehicle. Check engine came on and auto stop/start warning messages and light appeared. Took to dealer. They cleared engine misfire code and made no repair. Check engine light and auto stop/start light came back on when underway on same day that vehicle was picked up from dealership. Took back to dealership. Said it was multi cylinder engine misfire.
