    About 4 weeks ago, on late saturday morning, driving down the interstate, from richmond, va my car caught on fire in hampton. The car jolted a little and would not accelerate. Pulled to the side of the road, smoke became visible, but the temperature gauge was not running high. A witness ran toward the car yelling to get out of the car because it was on fire. Even though 2 fire trucks were on the scene, it took a…

A 2nd extended trip was taken a few weeks ago where the same problem occurred, even though the dealers service department ok'd the car. The amount of weight in the car was no more than personal belongings and some food but, due to the…
