1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2026

The electrical system failed and battery then exploded. The vehicle is behind held at a tow yard and has been inspected by allied insurance cpi of tower federal credit union. It is available to be inspected for the time being but will be scrapped soon. Both my safety and the safety of others was at risk- this occurred in a wendy’s drive through near other vehicles, a building and of course people there in. There’s video footage of the incident taken by wendy’s staff. The car stopped running as the fire caught- I ( the driver ) had to push the vehicle physically away from the building and cars and got away only one minute before it entirely exploded. Whether or not the problem has been confirmed or reproduced elsewhere is unknown. The fire was extinguished by firefighters and police did take a report as well. There was absolutely no warning that there was an issue prior - not even a hazard light- the only thing I noticed was my oil temp had begun to increase.
