i financed a 2013 hyundai sonata se with 97k miles ive only had it less than two weeks. While dring on the highway my car turned off and i saw white smoke and smelled an electrical burning smell i then called a tow truck and got it to the nearest autozone. The sales person checked the battery and it was at zero percent so then thay charged it afterwards it still wouldn't start we used a booster to see if it would work but then my car cought on fire under the engine. I think it may be the starter ??? 🤔 btw on my infotainment system it gave me a battery discharge warning ⚠️ what could that mean ??
what could that mean ??
Do you have a return window, in your purchase/finance contract?
there are multiple recalls affecting this vehicle, causing it to catch fire.
You're lucky it didn't happen while you were driving.

My advice is to research a vehicle before you buy it.
If you can get it repaired under recall for free get it fixed and then get rid of it right away. and never go near any other Hyundai/Kia product.
2013 is one of the years with wiring harness problems due to soy based insulation.
