1997 MERCURY TRACER User Comment / Complaint

While driving down at speed of 65-70 mph, the car ceased to accelorate. i pulled over to the side of the road, once the car was completely stopped it would no longer crank. today when i went to clean it out (happened at night)i saw that a hole was burned through the bottom of the passenger side dash board. also i noticed that there was smoke/fire residue on the windshield coming from the defrost vents. before any of this happened the airbag ligts were coming on and there was a burnt plastic smell and a scent of ammonia smell coming from god-knows-where. when i looked under the hood everything looked normal. i have been unable to go to work for 2 days now. please tell me if there is anything that i can do. thanking you in advance for your assistance.
