What owners say
On 3/4/24 my break light came on approx 9:15pm . I drove the car about 10 min home and pulled in the driveway at 9:30 PM. My husband assessed brake fluid, to find it needed and brake fluid. He added break fluid and told me to take the car to get it checked in the am. The car was making a continuous humming noise. @ 4:55 AM on 3/5/24 we awoke to the tires exploding & the car fully engulfed in flames. Fire department had to put out fire. Then we remember the ABS BREAK recall from Hyundai was no remedy.

My car caught on fire while driving.
i was recently told my cam / crank sensor needed to be replaced, it was giving a code when the auto store plugged in the machine to the port. a few misfires also showed up. on september 6th 2023 at 715pm our car engines started to overheat, and then caught on fire. due to the fact we were homeless we lost our home. I have no idea why it caught fire or why it was over heating. The oil has been getting changed more often than when i first bought the car, the engine oil light came on once a few months ago, and the oil was low, i wasn't sure why it was doing this, especially since i had just recently had an oil change prior to this happening. As with the car fire, my recent oil change was on august 28th, the coolant was full. So i have no idea what was going on. The two mechanics that i took my car to do work on, never mentioned anything out of the ordinary. We are homeless the address is our mailing address. I do not have a phone because it was lost in the fire, along with my whole wallet, my social and any recent work that has been done on the car. the number being provided is my son's phone. it is there to reach me if needed. i would prefer to correspond though email if possible also.
My wife was driving down the road when the car started smoking. When she pulled over she grabbed a bag and as she was getting out her flames were coming under her dash. Total loss
