Description of the problem | I was driving down the highway at a normal rate of speed (65), as by vehicle began to stall out. The car stopped driving right on the highway, and i was barely able to pull it to the shoulder without getting hit by other cars. Once i pulled to the shoulder, the car began smoking. Smoke quickly filled the inside of the vehicle. Before i could roll all the windows down, the engine had burst into flames. |
