NHTSA Complaint #11577327 — 2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS

My car spontaneously caught fire while in a parking lot. I had left it for approximately 45 minutes. When I returned and opened the trunk, smoke began pouring out. Frightened, I called 911. The fire department came. When they opened the driver door, much more smoke poured out. My car continued to smoke I believe for a long time. I was ill for several days with headache and asthma as I am a senior and have scarred lungs. A mechanic later determined that the passenger car motor had burst into fire. He said the motor, seat, carpet and seat belt were beyond repair. No warning lights ever came on. After suggesting a buy back of the car in an earlier conversation, the manufacturer said yesterday upon viewing a photo I provided of the burned seat motor that it wasn't that bad. I refuse to keep the car or drive it because it could happen again and it reeks of fire.
