MYSELF AND MY SON PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE. PARKED THE CAR WAS IN THE STORE ABOUT 5 MINUTES CAME BACK OUT, TRIED TO USE THE REMOTE TO POP TRUNK AND IT WOULDN'T WORK NOR WOULD THE DOORS. I THEN OPENED THE DOOR WITH THE KEY AND THE CAR WAS FULL OF BLACK SMOKE. SOMEONE PULLED UP TOLD ME TO POP THE HOOD THAT SOMETHING WAS ON FIRE. AT THAT TIME IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS RUNNING BUT THE CAR WAS OFF AND KEYS IN MY HAND. MOMENTS LATER I NOTICED FIRE STARTED TO DRIP UNDER THE DASH RIGHT AT THE FUSE BOX AREA ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND WITH MINUTES THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FIRE. A TOTAL LOSS. NEW CAR HAD 8-12 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND PUT IT OUT. I HAVE PICTURES AND IT WAS HORRIBLE. BLESSED THAT WE WEREN'T DRIVING AT THE TIME. HYUNDAI HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND MY INSURANCE HAS REQUESTED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THEIR ENGINEERS TO COME AND INSPECT THE CAR. AS OF TODAY NO ONE HASN'T SHOWN UP OR RESPONDED. *JS
