## Narrative
I was on my way to work as normal.  There were no warning lamps or other notifications/signs of a problem when all of a sudden, my vehicle started decelerating.  I looked in the rearview mirror and saw smoke.  I immediately pulled over and the smoke increased.  Within a matter or seconds flames started to shoot out from under the hood.  I don't know if the fire started from something electrical or engine-related but it spread fast!  Before the police and fire truck arrived at the scene, my car was engulfed in flames!  This was a terrifying and horrific experience!  Prior to this, I had to replace all of the motors on the windows and noticed the jerky movements when driving in Turbo mode that I was told was normal.  I didn't even have the car for 2 years!  When I contacted Hyundai about the windows, they did nothing and the Rep referred me to get rid of it!  I should have listened.
