Car caught fire without warning as i was driving it. car had 93,000 and had passed va inspection in august. i pulled over and called 911. by the time the fire department arrived 3 minutes later, entire engine was engulfed in large flames. the temperature gauge never indicated the engine was running hot. usaa removed the vehicle, and i don't know whether they will inspect it for cause, but i suspect an electrical malfunction.

My car vibrates whenever i reach 60 mph and continues to vibrates if i try to accelerate but stops when i decelerate. i was told it could be a balance problem but why would the whole car vibrate? i was also told it may be worn or old motor mounts, which i believe that more than it being a balance problem. i just need to know for certain so i know what to have replaced and how much i may have to spend. *tr
