I was driving on Florida turnpike South and out of no where I hear a big boom noise. My car started over heating and I noticed my engine light has come onto the dashboard. Once I pulled over on side of turnpike, I notice sticking out of my front bumper a big piece of metal.

It is in the trunk. The off-white sealant use everywhere in the trunk visible. It is underneath the trunk carpet, underneath the rubber mat. I found the sealant got melted causing rubber to be melted. I believe when temperature in Texas reached 110 degree that's when it happened. Luckily I spotted before it could have caught fire. Dealer says body shop will have to look at the cause and god knows if they may have to cut the whole trunk from inside to fix it. Car is still in service for more than 7 days.
