NHTSA Complaint #11115291 — 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA

I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR TO WORK FRIDAY MORNING 6/27/2018 AND IT WAS DEAD. MY HUSBAND HAD MY BATTERY TESTED, THEY SAID IT WAS LOW SO WE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND IT WORKED. CAR RAN FINE FOR THE NIGHT AND NEXT AFTERNOON, THEN OUT OF THE BLUE MY CAR STALLED AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN ( 6/28/2018) I HAD TO JUMP IT. IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY NO PROBLEMS, NOISES ETC. I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE IT TO OUR MECHANICS PLACE ACROSS TOWN (APPROX. 2-3 MILES) FOR THEM TO LOOK AT ON MONDAY. AS WE WERE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR (IT WAS TURNED OFF AND PARKED) WE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THEN VERY QUICKLY FLAMES. WHEN I DROVE THE CAR THOSE 2-3 MILES THERE WAS NO STRANGE NOISES OR SOUNDS COMING FROM ENGINE. WE CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT. THIS HAPPENED 07/28/2018. AND MY CAR HAS BEEN SEEN BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND IS TOTALED.
