That's exactly what hapened to us!!! We were in a Ford van (the old kind with the motot INSIDE between the front seats!) when it happened. The smoke filled the van. We had left the house at some ungodly hour and were in the desert at just about sunrise, then poof! My dad hitched a ride into town, we got towed as soon as the auto shop opened. Then it took 11 hours to fix because when they got it done and test drove it, it wasn't right and had to do it again.
What a way to start a family driving vacation, in a small waiting area in a auto shop in Needles with 3 young kids and nothing to do for 11 hours!
