Narrative

I was driving with my 2year old grandson and my car stalled. My neighbors waving trying to alert me that my car was on fire.By the time I realized that the smoke began to come in through the vents. I had to use the key fobe to open the doors to hurry and remove my grandson from the car. The door's wouldn't open by pulling the handles. There were no warning lights or lamps messages or problems prior to the engine failure. The safety of my grandsons and my life were put to risk because of me not getting any notifications about recalls and defects.
