Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Complaint no. While traveling down hwy 377 toward granbury, texas. The underside of my car burst into flames. Fortunately i was traveling at 70mph and the person who witnessed the flames behind me, ran up to my car when i stopped at a rail crossing to tell me what happen. I was lucky i was driving 70mph and if i had stopped while it was burning the car would have burned up. It looks like the plastic panels were ignited by the catalytic converter.. Complaint no. 2 without any type of impact, near the rear view mirror, a crack appeared from the top edge of the windshield downward about 2. 5" long. Since it is near the rear view mirror i know it appeared without any flying object hitting the windshield. Since it is in the middle of the top edge, i'm wondering if it is a stress crack and other kia owners are experiencing the same event.
