Description of the problem	On 4 october 2018 about 1/4 mile (on freestone county road) from our home the check engine light appeared, the vehicle lost forward motion and died. Immediately thick black voluminous smoke emitted from passenger side under hood and within seconds flames discharged. My wife, myself and our dog extricated ourselves immediately and started walking to neighbors house for fire extinguisher to mitigate damage. Within approximately one minute the first of several explosions began and eruption of engulfing fire began to consume the vehicle. We had stopped on the side of the road and the grass caught fire. 911 was called and when the members of two local volunteer fire departments arrived the car was totally evolved in flames. A liquid (probably water) was used to extinguish the fire. Contacted farmers insurance company. No police report required re: no collision. We were diligent in having routine maintenance performed according to schedule and attention to vehicle recalls. Tires were replaced when worn and rxp gas additive used. Insurance adjustor stated vehicle was so badly burned it was impossible to determine cause of fire.
