Help Me Please. Hyundai Consumer Affairs Case#: 10287799 was closed with Hyundai denying their car was at fault. Their car was at fault. I saw flames coming from under the front hood.
NHTSA ID Number: 10993003
On May 28th 2017 at 9:30am: Drove car to grocery store, a 6 mile round trip. Parked car in at home in garage around 10:15am. This is a two car garage that occupies about 2/3rds of the footprint of the house. I performed yard work in front of the garage and was in and out of the garage from 10:15am until about 2:30pm. At no time was there a hint of smoke or burning. Then moved away from the garage area and cut grass for two hours ending around 4pm. About 4pm my wife smelled smoke and as I was now with her in the kitchen moved into the living room to see smoke billowing past the window. We immediately raced to the garage and discovered flames and smoke coming from under the hood of the 2008 Elantra. 911 was immediately called. An attempt to put out the fire by way of a bucket of water and two fire extinguishers was unsuccessful. An attempt to get the car into neutral and push the car out of the garage was unsuccessful. I was driven from the garage by smoke, flame and requests from wife and neighbors.

Both 2008 Elantra and 2012 Elantra Touring were completely destroyed. Nearly all contents of the garage were destroyed.

Extensive smoke damage was absorbed by the house. We will be living away from the house while it is restored for at least the next 6 months. The forensics investigator thinks the battery was the cause of the fire but there was too much damage to the vehicle to make any determination as to where the fire started and where it ended.

Regarding the battery: This was purchased from Advance Auto October 17, 2014, part# 121R1. #420 D2LNM1C1Q21B5J.In July 2016 Cochran of Monroeville Hyundai Service techs discovered the rear left lamp was burnt out. Upon further inspection it was determined that the housing for that bulb had also melted and was replaced at my cost of $236.
Since I\'ve owned the car I\'ve replaced a total of twenty lights; (Fog, brake, headlights, license plate) around the car, in the front right, front left, rear right and rear left.
My thought is that the fire was caused by an electrical short in the anti-lock braking system: http://www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/17946/hyundai-recalls-88000-cars-for-fire-hazard.

3 Investigations for 2008 HYUNDAI Elantra

The office of defects investigation (odi) of the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) received a petition letter dated october 10, 2021, requesting an investigation of possible defects in the electronic throttle control (etc) system on certain kia vehicles resulting in the opening of dp21-003. accordingly, model year (my) 2005-2016 kia optima/k5, my 2006-2015 kia sorento, my 2007-2016 hyundai elantra, my 2007-2016 hyundai santa fe, my 2006-2015 hyundai sonatas are all part of the subject population. the petition was originally filed as a vehicle owner questionnaire that can be reviewed at nhtsa.gov under reference (odi) number 11439675.on november 12, 2021, odi opened defect petition dp21-003 to evaluate the petitioner?s request. odi performed trend analyses of the voqs related to vehicle speed control issues for all the subject vehicles and found that none of the 52 model/model year hyundai/kia vehicles demonstrated any actionable trend that warranted an investigation.petitioners submitted 1119 voqs and non-voq cases in which sudden uncommanded acceleration (sua) or loss of motive power (lomp) incidents were alleged.for the 1119 reports, 220 were incidents involving crashes, from which 69 subject hyundai-kia vehicles were inspected by hyundai/kia dealer technicians, hyundai/kia engineers, and/or third-party representatives.odi found the inspections identified no vehicle defects related to the etc system.of the 220 crash-involved reports, 13 event data recorder (edr) records were downloaded successfully and 11 of those indicated driver error: (i.e.) pedal misapplication.a condition where the accelerator pedal is mistakenly applied instead of the brake pedal when the driver wants to stop the vehicle.in addition, odi reviewed a scientific journal paper published in forensic science international in 2016 by mr. park et al ., as well as related test videos. odi does not believe there is any evidence of uncontrollable sua occurrences in any of the tests reviewed. nhtsa's office of vehicle safety compliance (ovsc) reviewed the allegations regarding the potential noncompliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124.based on the information provided, the agency concludes there is insufficient information for us to determine if a possible non-compliance exists.finally, both hyundai and kia informed odi that all their vehicles manufactured after 2012 were equipped with an etc management system, in which the engine speed will go to idle when the system sees signals from both the brake pedal and accelerator pedal at the same time; this is commonly known as the brake-throttle override system.after thoroughly assessing the material submitted by the petitioner, information already in nhtsa's possession, information submitted by hyundai and kia in response to an information request letter, and the potential risks to safety implicated by the petitioner's allegation, nhtsa does not believe that a formal investigation is warranted. after full consideration of appropriate factors, the petition is denied. a federal register notice (frn) further detailing nhtsa?s reasons for denial of the petition will be published.
