2022: “Check engine light came on few occasions. Took to the dealer and told it’s just a false alarm no problems. On the night of sept 12th 2024, I’m my way home I lost the ac cooling all of a sudden. I was only 5 mts from home. Once inside my garage I saw to my horror some smoke coming from under yhe hood. Upon opening saw some charred wires and some wire smoldering and smoke was coming out of it. Scared for my family I parked my car outside overnite and called the dealer. They had the car towed away the next day. …”
