I wanted to alert drivers with the same model (2016 Kia RIO Hatchback) of the possible dangers on this vehicle. There were no warning signs, no check engine lights going off or anything... This could have turned out really ugly but fortunately, I got out of the car just in time. The entire front engine compartment was engulfed in flames, the car is at a complete loss and now I am left to pick up the pieces. At this point, I am looking for answers, somebody has to take responsibility for this B.S!! I pray this does not happen to anyone else!!

This is such bullshit I was literally driving nothing came up on the information board to Indicate any kind of issues I just STARTED to rev really high and wouldn't go past 60 then something blew sounded like a belt but when I pulled over it started smoking I waited for a minute for the smoke to dissipate but It got worse once I grabbed my sh*t and stepped out and away from the car it erupted in flames! Completely totalled my car entire front end is damaged wiring and all the entire inside is f*cked this could've been a lot worse had I not been able to get out of the vehicle when I did.
