On 5/11 my wife was driving when she heard a clicking sound. She was not far from the dealership and decided to drive the car in to get looked at. As she got close to the dealership the vehicle started to smoke. She pulled over to a safe location where she could get out and as she was pulling over the vehicle started to flame. She immediately grabbed the dog and jumped out of the car and called 911. Withinjust a couple minutes of exiting the vehicle it was fully engulfed in flames and exploded.

I had drove my car to work on Tuesday the 19th. When I came back out to my car 6 hours later and started my car it was not moving at all there was a big clanking noise. I had parked my car and have not driven since I heard the noise. I had it towed to the shop. I feel as though this was something that happened out of the blue. I have kept up on my maintenance and everything and feel as though this must be a flaw with my car.
