What owners wrote
I was beginning to merge south on I75 but pulled over on the shoulder before my speed reached approx 50 MPH and I was less than .2 miles on the ramp. I immediately pulled over when I could smell and saw smoke coming out of the vents on the dash. Upon exiting the car I saw flames under the hood. While I was getting my children out of the car, a few men had stopped to help with fire extinguishers, but they were unsuccessful.
