The engine suddenly went up in flames while driving,my wife switched off the ignition and go out of the car. There was a big hole and mercedes authorized dealer siad this is a catastrophic event. This car is new purchased on october 31st 2016 mb says they will replace the engine as it is in warranty, but sentimentally we are so upset , if the fire would have caught on to gas tank. Please suggest.
