What owners wrote
Was driving car to meet my husband and when I turned the corner, he was frantically waving me to get out of the car because it was on fire, in the front under the driver's side bumper. I got out and saw flames shooting from under the bumper. With the fire department on the way, we made several attempts to put the fire out w/water to no avail. A nearby store owner came out with a fire extinguisher and was able to put the fire out. Once fire department arrived, he indicated that it appeared to be an electrical fire.
For the fifth time I am having an oxygen sensor replaced on my genesis (the vehicle has 4). The symptom has been a "check engine light" that results in an intermittent, occasional problem when stopped and idling. The engine light starts to flash, the engine begins to idle very roughly, and there's barely enough power to creep through the intersection. This condition clears up pretty quickly but the light remains on. The flashing light/rough idle/loss of power recurs.
