Equipment problem #1

While driving car, a fire started under the hood near the headlight , flames were flying although car had no engine light and ran great. Pulled over and people had fire extinguisher and fire company came to make sure if was all out. Extensive damage done to car. I am told it should of blown a fuse instead of lighting on fire with my grandson and dogs in the car with no warning. Insurance said it is electrical with the car and will not cover.

Equipment problem #2

On several occassions whenever I excel making a left or right turn, it stalls or hesitate. It has done this also while increasing speed on highway. The car was always in motion and has happened on different days. Most recently today.

Equipment problem #3

My daughter was sitting in the back seat of the car and when we stopped to get out her door would not open. I thought maybe the child safety lock was locked so I went on the internet to find a reason for the door not able to open from the inside but would open from the outside. While researching what the problem is I have noticed many other people having the very same problem I am having. The safety problem in this is if I were to get in a accident and my daughter needed to get out of the car from that side she would not be able to. The problem appears to be a piece of plastic breaks leaving the handle from the inside in-op.
