## Narrative
My car was less than a year old, had been at the dealership for routine maintenance on September 24th, and with no warning signals from the vehicle's electronics smoke started coming out from the hood while I was ~20 minutes into my drive to work.  Within a short period of time there were flames, and ultimately the car was engulfed in flames, resulting in a total loss.
