The vehicle was sitting in the driveway approximately 30 to 45 minutes after having been driven. I had noticed nothing unusual when driving the car. I walked outside to the driveway and flames were visible inside the car. The car was unoccupied and was not running. The switch was turned off and the keys were removed. The doors were locked. I unlocked the doors and put the fire out with a pan of water. I let it cool off and cranked it and moved it out of the driveway to the side of the road. I removed the battery cable for safety reasons. The emergency flasher switch apparently had melted and the flashers would not turn off.

Initial issue-vehicle was driving perfectly and we had just gotten back from the store. No indication of issues. We were going to go somewhere and noticed key fob not working. We unlock the door manually and when we went to start it horn started going off and car would not start. We read into issues and we decided to take battery in to get checked and it was full charged. We cleaned battery cables and got car started but this time radio not working and key fob not working. Car driving good for about 2 days and coming home last night, while on highway, all lights turned on -on dashboard, vehicle lost power, it sputtered all the way home. Windshield wipers weak and it was raining. Power windows barely works and could not push on gas! we barely made it back home and parked vehicle but gear shift would only go up to neutral gear. Won't let us put into park and car is dead. Vehicle is just sitting there now.
