Car has been sitting in storage since 1/2/16. I started up last weekend moved it, and tried to start today. It clicked like battery was low then exploded and started on fire. Was lucky to be by my store and had a fire extinguisher and help to push it out of the storage building. When the hood was open flames were as high as the hood, fire would not go out used one large fire extinguisher to stop the blaze.
Vehicle has always been well maintained, no leaking head gaskets, clean motor. If you have one of these please be sure to check for recalls on this motor. If one of my kids would had this happen to them it could have been a lot worse.... They would not have had a fire extinguisher and would not know what to do.
