“My car had no previous problems as could be seen. I bought it off the lot at 72,000 miles. I stopped in the left hand lane and the car just stalled. I saw black smoke and thought I was overheating but there when I looked it was not. I was at a very busy intersection with my 10 year old daughter in the car. I decided even though it wasn't overheating to take a look at the engine. When I got out under the hood was all orange from fire. It then proceeded to blow up the whole inside and it took about 10-15 mins. For the fire dept. To put the roaring fire out. I thank god we were not inside. …”
