Tl* the contact owned a 2015 hyundai veloster. While driving 60 MPH, the contact noticed smoke under the passenger side dashboard. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road as the engine stalled. The contact opened the hood and observed flames around the engine compartment. The fire department was called and extinguished the fire. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed and towed.
I have reported an issue to ronnie freeze, service manager at o. B. , ms. Hyundai in april 2015. Less than 3 months after purchase. I had engine and starting failure for 15-25 minutes after a check sensor code popped up. I gave this code to service, and all they could say was, 'well, I never heard of that'. Let me know if it happens again. And it did, and I reported it, and... Nothing. Same old thing, don't know what that could be.
