Description of the problem	I bought the vehicle on 5/7/16. On 6/2/16 i was driving on highway 395 when i noticed smoke coming out of the engine compartment. The car started losing power and eventually died. When i got it pulled over to the side of the road i noticed flames coming out from the front of the engine. I grabbed what i could and got out of the car. Within 5 min the front of the car was engulfed in flames. I had approximately 675 miles on it. I have contacted hyundai but they have not responded to me. I ordered a copy of the police report but have not received it yet. I have pictures that i have attached. I am concerned about this happening to other people. Thankfully i didn't have grandkids in the car, i'm not sure i would have been able to get them out.
