Had required recall (#178) for a pra to be replaced performed 4/6/19, upon driving it noticed electronic, acid smell that went away. Today (4/7/19), upon driving it, the car's cabin filled with smoke that was coming from the rear seat. I immediately pulled over, shut the car off, removed as much items from the car as possible and called my wife, 2 miles down the road at home to bring a fire extinguisher.
I was driving on the freeway when my car started smoking. Pulled over immediately and 30 seconds later the entire front of the car was engulfed in flames. I hadn’t received a second recall notice, but I did take it in the first time when a fire risk was mentioned.
We received a recall letter in the mail (a notice, then an instruction to fix, approximately 3 months apart) regarding an electrical connection under the rear seat. This fault may lead to fires and we were told to contact any facility immediately to schedule a repair that would take less than 30 minutes. At least 5 times across multiple days and through multiple technologies, we contacted the dealership at 4960 north, fl-7, coconut creek, fl 33073 (cocounut creek hyundai) where we originally purchased the car.
