## Narrative
Summer of 2020,my engine needed to be replaced for an unknown reason, that work was done at the Herb Chambers Hyundai service department.   On 4/22/2022 my car hesitated to start, it did start, I traveled about 12 miles and my engine light came on.  I traveled about 3 more miles and then my car stalled in the middle of the highway, I headed to the breakdown lane very quickly.  As soon as I put the car in park, the car started to smoke, I ran down the highway on foot, called 911, I turned around and my car was engulfed in flames.  This whole incident went awry very quickly, about 5 minutes.  I am writing in as I was offered $16000.00 as a settlement for my vehicle and all losses from Hyundai.  My insurance company is offering about $1500.00 more than Hyundai.  Hyundai is not even performing an inspection which was not what they communicated initially.  I was told an inspection needed to be done prior to any settlement decision.  Their is a known recall, I understand, recall #205, which I had not yet been notified of.  I want to reiterate that no inspection on Hyundai's part was done to confirm damage/recall issue.  At this point I do not have a vehicle and not in a position to buy a new car.
