Narrative

My husband was driving home and noticed the rpms showed 0 when he was idling. Then a little bit of smoke come out of the hood so he pulled over. When he stopped, there was thick black smoke coming out of the hood. Seconds after he got out of the vehicle the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. The check engine light was on and we were going back and forth with dealers since I baught the car 2 months prior about getting it fixed. Before the fire, the vehicle was inspected by a huyndia representative and was scheduled to be worked on the next day. The insurance company did an investigation as well.
