I was driving a short distance from my house (2 miles) when I noticed my car not driving normally. I had driven it the 3 previous days with no porblem. I finished my errand, then proceeded to head home. It was noticably getting worse. I smelled something at a stoplight, not sure if it was my car, or car alongside of me. I saw a light had come on on my dashboard (ck. Engine?) and looked at the gauges, everything was normal. I decided to head home first to have my neighbor follow me up to repair shop. Parked in driveway, went inside my home to call her, looked out my open front door about 5 minutes later where I saw smoke and smelled it. Ran out, my auto was seriously smoking heavty brown smoke, ran next door to call 911, and auto burst into flames and caught house on fire also. Am now in a hotel because of major fire and smoke damage.
Our 2005 Volkswagen jetta broke down due to the computer needing reprogramming. It did not give warning it just had no power and wouldn't go in the middle of an interstate. This was a service bulletin with Volkswagen I believe this is a safety issue because there is no warning and the brakes don't work and the car doesn't go and could potentially cause an accident.
