When light turned green consumer proceeded to apply gas pedal and 2005 Corolla barely moved. Consumer then smelled something burning. When the consumers wife parked and exited the vehicle, she noticed the right front wheel was burning and smoke was coming out of the wheel and was red. The vehicle was towed to the dealer.
