## Narrative
Our 2014 Hyundai Sonata engine caught fire while driving.  Have been getting the oil change on the regular but still have to put oil in it about 3 weeks later and smokes really, really bad.  My son's safety was put at risk because he was the one driving the vehicle at the time. The check engine light stays on even after the mechanic shop turns it off, it comes back on a couple of hours later.  I just purchased this car in November of 2021.  The motor has already locked up on it and we have done everything we're suppose to do to keep the vehicle running.
