I drove the car to a store, parked, turned the engine off and exited the vehicle. When I got out of the car it was smoking under the hood. A short time later the car was on fire in the engine bay. I'd say flames erupted approximately 10 minutes after I exited the vehicle.

While driving the car the engine simply shuts off whether on the highway at 70 mph, on city streets at 40 mph or backing out of my driveway. Usually after waiting a few minutes it will restart. The problem began in February 2019 and has been ongoing. My mechanic has had the car multiple times and I have had the car towed to my mechanic 3 times making sure not to start the car. It has no codes stored to help my mechanic find the problem. They have tried several different things but as usually even when they kept it 2 weeks the car failed to stall on them when they test drove it. I have seen articles and even complaints on your website of this issue. This is serious and dangerous and I cannot believe a recall has not been issued.

While online I found this has been a problem for years!!! why hasn't this been addressed? he could have died. And if I wasn't in the yard to react and put the fire out my house could have gone up with it.
