I was driving home from work and heard a strange noise, I turned around and saw smoke coming from the inside trunk so I pulled over. The check hybrid battery light came on and then immediately the car shut off completely, I grabbed my purse and got out as the car filled with smoke.
About 1 minute later it burst into flames and was completely burned by the time the fire department made it. I’ve been dealing with Kia for almost 2 weeks now because of this and they aren’t doing anything to help me nor do they seem to care about what happened.
If you have a Kia niro please take it to the dealership and get it checked, when it shut down I could not open the back. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened if anyone was with me.
