What owners wrote
While driving there was no warning lamps messages or other symptoms to any problems. I went to slow down so I could turn around because I missed my stop. The brakes started feeling less pressure I looked up and there was black smoke coming from under the hood then I saw flames. Then the car blew up
My engine burn oil more than it should. I added a full bottle in less than 3000 miles. When starting it in the morning I can smell the burning oil!!
