What owners wrote
The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that after the vehicle was at the dealer for a routine oil change and an engine flush, the following day while driving at approximately 10 MPH in a stop-and-go school zone, the vehicle stalled and smoke emitted from underneath the hood. All the warning lights on the instrument panel were illuminated. The contact merged to the shoulder of the road and safely exited the vehicle. The vehicle was engulfed in flames.
Occasionally when applying the left blinker switch to make a left hand turn it will take 5-10 seconds for it to start working and sometimes when I turn the left blinker on, the right side starts blinking for a while then it will automatically switch to the left. This has been going on for the past few weeks. Dealer wants $125 just to look at the car plus what ever the service / parts will be.
