While driving my vehicle I noticed some smoke coming out from under the hood. I started to pull off to the side of the road when the entire engine compartment burst into flames. I got pulled over as quick as possible and opened the hood where I noticed the engine was completely on fire. I tried to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, but the fire was buring too hot for me to get close, the fire dept arrived in less than 5 minutes and proceeded to put out the fire, at which time it was too late, the vehicle was completely burned up. I only had this vehicle for less then 4 months and had no work done to it at all and it just blew up on me. I just got out of the car in time before being severely burned myself. I did purchase a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty from the selling dealer at time of purchase whihc was suppose to be a bumper to bumper warranty. This vehicle was in exceptional condition, hense the reason I purchased it. I don't know what I am going to do from here, but I now find myself without a vehicle and thankfully without any physical injury, this incident could have possibly killed me and this matter should be investigated so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
