NHTSA Complaint #11415520 — 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA

YES I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM MY VENTS. I MADE IT TO THE NEAREST NEIGHBORHOOD BY MY HOME STOPPED FOR IT TO COOL DOWN FOR 10 MINUTES I START MY CAR BACK UP & IT WAS PERFECTLY FINE BY TIME I MADE IT TO A STOP SIGN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE I WAS IN THE CAR. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRIC/ENGINE PROBLEM & NOTHING WAS MY FAULT. I DON'T HAVE INSURANCE TO COVER IT. THE NEXT MORNING I FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT ALL HYUNDAI'S AND KIAS HAVE A RE CALL ON CARS DUE TO ENGINE FIRE RISK. I WAS REALLY DEVASTATED WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN ON RE CALL NOT ONCE OR TWICE BUT THREE TIMES. BY LAW, IAM AUTHORIZE TO GET A CAR OR A CHECK OF HOW MUCH THE CAR IS WORTH. I TALKED TO HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA HEADQUARTERS MRS.GRETCHEN TOLD ME THAT THEY NOTIFY ME AT THE ADDRESS THAT THE CAR WAS REGISTERED IN & NOT MY CURRENT ADDRESS AND ALSO SHE STATED IT'S MY FAULT. WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WHEN NOBODY CALLED TEXT OR EMAIL ME PERSONALLY JUST TO SEE IF I MADE IT TO MY RE CALL APPOINTMENT IN JANUARY. NOT ONLY I HAD ANOTHER ONE IN MARCH I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT AS WELL THEN THEY HAVE ANOTHER RE CALL I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IN JUNE HYUNDAI BETTER AND HAS TO DO SOMETHING NOW I COULD OF LOST MY LIFE & I LOST EVERYTHING I HAD MY PHONE FEDEX EQUIPMENT IMPORTANT PAPERWORK ETC. FYI INSURANCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A RE CALL CAR. BY LAW I SUPPOSE TO GET SOMETHING FOR THAT
