What owners wrote
The car caught on fire after it being in service at the dealership. The car was sent to the car dealership 3 times because the auto start was not working properly. The car would just stop and could not turn back on so I had to get it towed 3 times...... After the last time it caught on fire with the passenger inside the car..... Passenger is ok did not get hurt but it was a very traumatizing experience.
