Vehicle was in motion when strange odor detected then smoke from engine area was noticed. Pulled car into parking lot and shut down engine because thought may be overheating. None of guages reflected this, however, there was no other logical explanation. Was goin to open hood when noticed flames. In matter of minutes, vehicle was completely engulfed in flames. Was a total loss.

Acceleration. When i accelerate it hesitates to pick up. Very dangerous as i was trying to merge into the highway or merge into a different lane it did not accelerate quickly enough and the vehicles in that lane had to brake hard as i entered that lane almost rear ending my vehicle. Even if i press the gas pedal hard it does the same thing, it hesitates before speeding up. Another issue is the door lock button from…

Abs and traction control light goes on and off as i am driving. Sometimes, the speedometer moves quickly over the incorrect speeds so i have no clue what speed i am going. It's only a four year old car with 56,000 miles. Also, same vehicle has issue with the gas tank door. Cannot open using the switch inside the car. Must use the emergency pull inside a trunk compartment.
