Driving on the highway and engine stalled on me and wouldnt go. So I rolled over to the side of the highway to pull over. When I stop the car, I see smoke coming from under dash board and under hood. So I get out real fast and open hood. I look down in front of the engine and the engine is on fire. I poured some water on it but did not put it out. Called 911. And backed away. Fire put its self out before 911 got there. Had it towed to firestone. In examination. They said engine piston blew a hole on the side of the engine. I just bought the car used and had it for 4 months when this happened. Now I am stuck paying for a car that is sitting in my driveway because it is in operable. I cannot afford $10000. 00 for another motor to be installed, which was what I was quoted.
