Description of the problem	Driving the vehicle on the highway at 65 mph, there was a loud bang in the engine compartment followed by a loss of power. As the vehicle slowed, the check engine light illuminated, followed by the oil light illuminating. Brought the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder and smoke filled the vehicle. Flames coming from the engine compartment were extinguished with a fire extinguisher. There was a trail of oil behind the car with some pooling underneath. The vehicle was towed to our local dealership for examination: "found broken rod punched hole in block causing oil leak. Oil got on exhaust causing fire.
