Went for a walk with 4 year old son at the mountain, came back to a melted mkx. Fire department came. With in a span of an hour fifteen minutes, the vehicle cab had melted and cooled to touch. We barely escaped possible death had I been driving on the freeway.
Car bucked several times but did not lose power. Next day 8-27 mileage 14,254 the control panel (phone, navigation, climate, sirius) froze for at least 5 miles. Did not lose power this time.
