Yesterday, my 2020 ST spontaneously combusted. Driving down the road and suddenly it slowed way down, oil light went on, and it started smoking. Pulled over immediately and full on fire. I know there was a recall early on, but supposedly my VIN was not affected. We maintained it well. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. 59F4F070-7C85-4421-87DF-3768B620E496.jpeg E610E9D6-80A0-4B8B-8367-F9DD7C2F2170.jpeg 7AC81D1A-841C-4722-8D95-D8A53E0EE55B.jpeg 1CA59289-BB83-49D4-9C96-B58017D077CB.jpeg 26528C47-C676-4BC1-80FC-7D24675F540F.jpeg

Yeah that’s ugly. Hoping all are safe. Guessing maybe oil line blew and dumped on something hot. That happened to me at Road America in my CTS-V but I blew the motor at 130mph

Wow, those pics are crazy, looks like you were attacked by a dragon. Glad you are okay, did they ever tell you what caused it?

Of course. That’s literally what insurance is for.
