What owners wrote
My vehicle caught fire as I proceeded to pull away from a curbside parking space. I turned my wheel to the far left as I proceeded away from the curb and that is when I heard a pop sound, saw white smoke spewing from the front right side of the vehicle, then I saw the flames. Five days prior to the incident, I had front brake pads and resurfaced rotors placed on the vehicle. Within the past 30 days the only other maintenance performed on the vehicle was a standard oil change.
Vehicle shut-off without warning while driving on the roads and freeway. Had to immediately put neutral restart engine several times. Took it to the dealership in bellevue ne and they only replaced the duct vent tube from the air filter. I had mentioned that it has a code on odb2 scanner cam sensor and they don't have a recall for it. Please need a safe car for me and my family.
