Hyundai Sonata Electrical System Safety Report | Aug 07, 2013
Reported on Aug 07, 2013
HAD MY SONATA FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF. I THOUGHT I SMELLED GAS IN THE CAR, BUT FIGURED I MUST HAVE SPILLED GAS ON MY SPORT COAT THE LAST TIME I WORE IT. STARTING THE CAR, I HAD TO HOLD THE START ENGINE BUTTON DOWN FOR AN EXTRA SECOND WHICH WAS WEIRD, BUT I FIGURED MAYBE I WAS LOOKING INTO THINGS. I HAD MY WINDOWS DOWN SINCE I THOUGHT I SMELLED GAS. AFTER DRIVING FOR A BIT MY CAR DIED SUDDENLY, AS I WAS PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO GET MY SON FROM HIS CAR SEAT AND THEN I SAW THAT THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. *TR | |
