Narrative

My 2018 Honda Civic had caught on fire two days ago coming onto Florida’s turnpike car was running just fine had no signs of anything going wrong with it come to come on to the turnpike and what sounded like the engine blowing up so I pulled over top the hood and the engine is on fire so I got a grab something and put it out there won’t go out so then the AC line gets hot and explodes luckily the road ranger was right behind us otherwise the whole car would’ve went up in flames I personally think with all of what I’ve read that Honda needs to recall the engine which is a 1.5 dual overhead cam turbo or fix it or the people that have had the same situation like me needs to have their money returned or car bought back something or they give you a new vehicle toes that’s ridiculous just random combustion I have also had them service engine light codes come on and then I will turn the car off turn it back on and it’s not on anymore and it does this on the random also had lack of power ever since I bought it
