My wife was driving the kids to school when they started to smell something. My wife's been sick, so she couldn't smell, but she took notice when one of the kids started crying because it smelled so bad. That's when she noticed smoke in the car. She called me, who told her to PULL OVER and call 911!!! - crazy girl was still driving with rear of the car on fire!!!
The wiring in the rear hatch (right behind the two older kids) caught on fire. The firemen came and couln't get in the rear hatch as it's all electronic opening/closing. They soaked the interior and then had to break the rear window to finish putting it out. The fire investigator showed up and was checking fuses and stuff. He pulled one which was unblown, but when he tried to put it back in, he got shocked and the fuse blew immediatly! None of the gauges work anymore, there is smoke all on the inside of the windows. The tow guy said it was likely totaled.
But praise God everyone was ok!
