Description of the problem	On 09/17/2018 i woke up around 5 am to find the elantra fully engulfed in flames in the front end. It wasn't running, nothing left on, it had not been run for 4 hours so the engine should have been cold. No drivability problems before. Police and fire department responded, put the fire out and stated that they saw nothing suspicious about the fire and that i should check on problems with hyundai. This car only had 70000 miles on it with a 10 year 100000 mile warrantee . I went to the dealer, they told me it was not covered without even looking at it. This car was cold, parked, nothing on, no keys in it, i don't see any reason it should have caught fire. It was a total loss. Thank you.
