Vehicle was parked and turned off. Fire started in engine compartment. Witnesses said it sounded like the car was trying to start itself. Total loss. Damage was worst on the passenger side of the engine compartment centered in the area in front of the wheel. Security camera of incident shows smoke then fire starting at the front passenger side.

Driving down the road at about 45 miles pr hr. The car started banging. I slowed down the noise wasn't as loud. I pulled the car off the road, cut the car off, it wouldn't crank back. The mechanic said they didn't understand since the motor was clean inside and out. I didn't have any service light come on. I have had to replace the motor.
