Consumer Description

OWN A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEDAN. HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ON AT ALL TIMES, FOR ABOUT THE PAST WEEK. YESTERDAY WHEN I PARKED THE CAR, I PUT IN NEUTRAL PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE HAD SMALL FIRE, FIRE DEPT WAS CALLED OUT TO MY HOUSE NO INJURIES. I WAS SURE TO GET OUT OF CAR QUICKLY IN CASE TURNED OUT TO BE HUGE FIRE. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED GETTING LOOKED AT TOMORROW, NEED IT TOWED CAR FILLS UP WITH SMOKE AND YOU CAN PEEK IN AT THE WIRING AND WAS A SMALL FLAME THIS TIME. IF I TURN THE KEY ON THIS HAPPENS. UNOPERATABLE, AS OF NOW. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS PEOPLE COULD BE GETTING HURT. *TR
