spontaneous fire while parked spontaneous fire while parked spontaneous fire while parked spontaneous fire while parked

VIN 5NPDH4AE8GH657539 (2016 Elantra SE, 11,000 miles on odometer) spontaneously ignited yesterday afternoon, 4/5/2016 @ ~3:45PM CDT (see pictures attached) while parked, destroying itself & both vehicles parked on either side of it. Had driven vehicle every days since purchased new Oct 2015, never a single hiccup or problem until it became a volcano yesterday. Had the incident occurred at a different time or place, I & others in or around this inferno could easily have been seriously injured or killed. Fortunately, no one was injured. Insurance company is sending a "fire cause & origin expert" to inspect the vehicle. The dealer says Hyundai Motor America has also initiated their own investigation, so it remains to be seen how this resolves.
