I have already submitted a report here and never had any follow up and I don't see it in the reported complaints section of this website with newer incidents already showing so I know it isn't that there is a back log. my car caught on fire while I was in the car, asleep. I have reports from the fire department, I have struggled with Hyundai for months and ultimately was denied any assistance due to I was missing one of two service records.

September 2023 Fire

Driving on highway on vacation coming from florida, the car lost power for 3 seconds and came back on again. Weird it happened. Hasnt happened since but scary to completely shutdown then start up again. The motor continue to run but lights and everythg else shut. It was weird. This happen summer 2020. Was not raining and was on straight highway.
