The vehicles auto stop/start does not function. I hear flushing behind the dash board once the vehicle is powered off and it makes weird noises for about 3-5 minutes before completely powering off.

The incident happened on freeway. I was driving my car at the speed of 60 -65, all of a sudden the car started slowing down and I pulled over immediately. As soon as I pulled over I could see the smoke coming out of the hood. So immediately got out of the car and started to contact roadside assistance but while in the process of contacting roadside assistance within couple mins the car started catching fire from the hood side then I panicked and called 911. Thanks to the fire service department ! they came by and put out the fire. Omg! my whole car except the rear truck was burnt. If I was inside the car for couple more mins I would not be alive to write this report. It was very scary and traumatizing ! I don't have any clue how this one happened all of a sudden and I could not believe my eyes watching the car catching fire. I strongly feel that I got a bad apple. In my opinion it looked like something was wrong under the hood as the smoke came from the hood. There was no accident involved and a car catching fire on its own is uncommon. This makes me anxious and scared.

When trying to drive my wife's vehicle the gauges for speed, tachometer, vehicle status etc turn off. The two touch screens also turn off so cannot control any climate, radio, drive settings etc. It will come on intermittently and turn back off without warning. The car still operates but without any instrumentation. Unknown how this affects safety features such as airbags.when my wife drives it is less intermittent but happens from time to time. If I attempt to start the car sometimes it won't even turn on but after a couple minutes I can get it to start. It is push button. Have tried both set of keys.
