Consumer states while traveling 20-25 MPH and without any indication vehicle caught on fire. Fire department put fire out. Vehicle was totaled.
Ignition failure. Error message to clean key and wait 3 minutes. The key has a microchip, and the microchip has been tested and is working correctly. The ignotion switch, when tested is showing to be working properly. No one can give me a reason for the malfunction, but I have been stranded numerous times due to the malfunction.
