Description of the problem	My 2017 kia niro caught on fire yesterday afternoon as i was driving down the interstate. No collusion was involved. I got a warning message to stop the engine due to a problem being detected in the hybrid system. I pulled off of the interstate during rush hour traffic and noticed black smoke coming from underneath my hood. I thought that something had just happened to the engine. I stayed in the car and called a tow truck as i did not want to stand on the shoulder of this busy highway. A man then jumps out of his truck and starts running toward me yelling at me to get out of the car that it was on fire. I got out, we ran down the shoulder and we stood watching my car become engulfed in flames. I just bought the car in november 2018.
