The car caught on fire on 9/4/18, and caused extensive damage inside the engine bay. Car was driven several miles to a store. The passengers were exiting the car when they smelled something burning. Then they noticed smoke and flames extending from the front of the car. The fire started in the passenger side and was extinguished before the drivers side also caught on fire. The insulation on passenger side wiring harness is completely burnt, and numerous other items including the fiberglass body. The vehicle had approximately 215000 miles on it, and was well maintained. No recent repairs had been made to the engine. No smells of gasoline, oil, or plastic burning were evident before the moment the fire started. The cause of the fire is unknown to us at this time.

While driving on freeway 210 in the second lane next to fast lane, going 70-72 mph in heavy traffic the rear brakes locked up. Causing the rear tires to skid, in turn causing it to start a clockwise spin two times. Because i was in heavy traffic i quickly desided not to try to control the car in that lane causing a mayor car pile up, so i desided to try to make it over to the side of fwy. I missed three cars and a semi truck and ended up stopping before i hit the third car. I was still setting part way in the slow lane, so i tried to move the car. It would not move forward or back ward even though the engine was running and the car would go in gear. My wife and i came out with no injuries and no one hit us. Wow as i think about it now. I had it towed home and it still sets in my back yard. Is there a recall on this because of the brakes or the p/c that may have cause it?
