On september 13, 2019, my wife and 2 year old daughter pulled into our driveway in our 2019 range rover velar. Shortly before pulling into the driveway, the check engine light came on and a coolant alert went off. The car then burst into flames while parked in our driveway. My wife quickly got our daughter out of her car seat and ran across the street to call 911. Just as she got to the other side of the street, the car exploded. See attached pictures.
