Description of the problem | On my drive home from work, the car started smoking. I was initially driving on a highway, but had just turned onto a side street. The smoke began to get worse and was coming into the cabin. I was able to pull over and as soon as i could get out of the car, the car completely engulfed into flames. Hyundai was unable to determine a cause of the fire. |
