1.3 miles away from the dealership I purchased the 2019 hyundai tucson it started to smoke. 5 minutes later it was on fire!! It had less than 400 miles on it and I've yet to find out what exactly caused the fire. Hyundai or the dealership won't tell me. The fire came from the passenger side under the hood.
