Thank goodness we were almost home so my husband coasted it into our driveway then we noticed what smelled of electrical fire, I looked at the hood and could see a glow. My husband put it in park as I yelled for my daughter to wake up & get out. Mine & my husbands door were unlocked but the back two doors wouldn't unlock.
