“I was driving my car when the engine sounded something similar to is if I had a misfire. I started slowing down by the time I got to about 5 miles an hour smoke started coming through the vents. Open the hood and there was a fire between the back of the engine in the firewall. Within 15 minutes the car completely burned down. It is unknown what caused this so far.”

Noise is loud enough to give me tinnitus, glass shatters everywhere. Causing me to do an emergency pull over.
