On 01/23/17 i took a short drive in the car and i smelled a slight stench of gasoline but didn't think much of it at the time, until later on in the day when i had to take my car out again and the engine started smoking and burst into flames. the vehicle was stationary and the keys were in the ignition then i proceeded to started the car and that's when it happened, so im guessing it was fuel injection problem.
