Description of the problem | Driving home my mom asked me to stop by the local gas station. I pulled into the parking space my mom got out & went in the store. A guy at the staion started screaming at me to get out because my car is about to blow up he could see the fire coming out the front of the hood & grill of the car. By the time i understood wht he was saying the car had a big boom hood blew up & went bk dwn during that the locks were locking & unlocking. I had to manually unlock tge door & push my way out with young man assistance. After i was out of it for 3 seconds the fire started raging & popping. The firemen finally made it they were very helpful & understanding. What i don't understand is why i didn't get some type of warning my car was mot running hot . Im thankful to my heavenly father because although this was a very scary situation for me but it could always be worse. Very grateful. But is hyundai gonna replace my car or pay for the damages? Will my insurance cover this tyoe of claim? |
