What owners say
The consumer was traveling about 60mph on the highway, and with no prior warning saw flames shooting up though the hood area. Consumer pulled over immediately, and notified the police. Vehicle was towed to the dealership.
While driving at 65 MPH, my car began to make a loud noise. Unable to stop, I proceeded off the exist, and I could hear parts falling out. Upon stopping, I opened the hood to find the vehicle in flames. After consulting with the mccafferty hyundai dealer, they informed me that the A/C compressor seized causing it to catch on fire. However, because it was quite cool that day, I did not have my air conditioner on.
Since november of 1997 I have had on going problems with this vehicle. There has been one default after another. In november of 1997 the engine caught fire. The transmission was replaced in july of 1999, since repacement of transmission the waterpump, and timing were replaced, and the radiator was repaired. Now this new problem has arose with the engine. One other thing not mentioned before is the car stops or shuts off with no gage indication at all.
While parked an electrical short in the ignition caused the wiring under the hood to catch on fire.
