## Narrative
On March 19 I completed my 8,000 mile oil change and then drove to Florida.  I had a warning light to change my oil since the company did not reset it.  Unsure of the other warning lights.  As I was driving in Florida on the interstate the car started having issues.  It was making a noise, then started smoking and by the time I got off the exit and got out the front right of the car was in flames.  I was transported to the ER with smoke inhalation.  The car in still in Clermont, FL with no resolution.  The car has been inspected by the insurance and a third party inspector.  The last I was told the inspection report is with the Kia engineers.  I am unaware at this point what the failure was that led to the fire.  No response from Kia for over a month.
