The car caught on fire while my family was driving it. Nearly killing them in the fire. Witnesses say the fire started underneath the car then went to the engine. There is a TSB recall 227 on those types of cars indicating the fuel tube needed replacement. This car was serviced last in September with an engine replacement at Hyundai dealership. That day the check engine light came on. Police was called, insurance is investigating. Have not contacted manufacturer.
The contact's wife owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with the EPS, battery, and check engine warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure recurred. The contact was able to pull into a parking lot and park the vehicle. The contact opened the hood and noticed that there was smoke coming from the engine compartment before it caught fire.
