The car was parked (not running or moving) in an open air grocery store parking lot. I was in the grocery store for approximately 20 minutes and came out to find a crowd and a fire crew who had just put out the fire in the hood area of my car. I have photos of the car but they are on my phone and I don't know how to send them to computer.

In 2016, I filed complaint # 1084551 regarding the engine shutting down when my car had only 23000 miles. Unfortunately neither this agency or hyundai USA gave me the an explanation as to why this happened, and happy hyundai kept my car for 43 days to replace various engine parts. Now in 2019, the connector to the coolant fan melted which is related to the ECM module. There was an ECM recall at the time in march 2016 but it appears that the specifications of the recall didnt address/fix the problem. Further, it appears that the problem I encountered in 2016, thee ECM recall and the problem I have encountered on july 25, 2019 are very related. I can only hope and implore thos agency to look further into these issues. The car was in motion when the engine light came on. Took to the dealer and the diaganostic I was given said thee thermostate needed to be replaced along with the temperature sensor and a coolant flush. Also told the A/C compressor and hose needed to be replaced. On august 14th the thermostate, sensor and coolant flush was completed by happy hyundai but the engine came back on the same day after I drove on the expressway. I took my car into another o. August 20, 2019 and was told my car wass missed diagnosed and that the coolant fan controller had shorted and the connector to that component had melted. This is all related to the ECM module.

The vehicle has issues with the bluetooth sound system where it randomly disconnects regardless if the car is in motion or stationary. The car uses a lexicon sound system. However, the car experiences another issue with the display regarding selecting a bluetooth device and the screen appears blank. From where the issue derives is unknown to pin point. One possibility is that the system reads a cd randomly without a disk being inside and it resets the system.

"takata recall" > my 2011 hyundai genesis sedan has been granting many problems with starting. Sometimes it will start up immediately, then sometimes it will start slowly or not start at all and simply revert to a clicking and no start. This seems to also be giving many other drivers problems as I look online. Please update this information as I do not wish to be left stranded. The vehicle is off when this problem occurs.
