Bought car in Dec 2017. July 8, 2018, car caught on fire while driving. No issues before this event. No warning, care just went up in flames starting from under the car/the engine. There have been recalls on other models of Hyundai cars, but they do not include Hyundai tuscons. I think this needs to be investigated before someone loses their life due to this car.

Stainless steel fuel tube replaced for second time in 15 months; first time when engine blew (piston came apart) and second time 2 days after routine maintenance performed at dealership (EFI service). Fuel leak developed when fuel pump running as car being driven at 70 mph. Strong fuel smell in vehicle while driving and fuel was running out at rapid rate. Car started to stall on interstate 10 w between houston and san antonio. I would like a record of this occurrence in order to determine if part is defective or mechanic at fault. This is the second report I have filed in regards to this vehicle. The part number associated with this fuel tube is 35305-2G700. The first report was when the engine blew November 2015 while coming off I-57S in bourbonnais, Illinois. That report number is 10807620. 3 invoices of repairs should be attached.
