2009 Hyundai Elantra Electrical System

Got in the car to come home put the key in ignition turned it and battery was dead went to turn off and something popped and cloud of smoke started rolling out from underneath the hood once hood was up the smoke got stronger from behind the motor the battery we had to get the battery unplugged and pulled out to get the electricity out the vehicle because of the battery being dead but sill plugged up at the time it would continue smoking more and more and thicker thicker so My husband pulled the battery out immediately as doing so we both inhaled some smoke but we was more concerned about it catching on fire so we pulled through it . We are confused on how or why this happened nothing has broke or went wrong with my vehicle but serpentine belt brake and tire ware my mother had car inspected and service back in May nothing was said that there is or will be wrong with my car. We had no idea that there was anything wrong no warning lights no signs of any problems up to this incident.

The radio turns on and off in its own heat blows threw the vent when heater is off abs lock showed not working when inspection then showed as it was working air bag light always on none of the dash board lights work lock buttons work when it wants to

MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING 2009 EPS LIGHT COMING ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE TRUNK LID OPENED INDEPENDENTLY, THE ALARM ACTIVATED, AND ALL THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, WHICH FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND DIAGNOSED THE FIRE AS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

PANIC ALARM ENGAGES ON ITS OWN (WHILE PARKED) IN DRIVEWAY OR WORK PARKING LOT. CHECKED ALL DOORS, HOOD, TRUNK TO ENSURE THEY WERE CLOSED. HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. WHEN USING KEY FOB(MANUF SUPPLIED) PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. PRESS LOCK DR BUTTON(30-40 MIN LATER) ALARM SOUNDS,PRESS UNLOCK BUTTON(40-60 MIN LATER) ALARM SOUNDS OR DOES NOT COME ON AGAIN. PRESS LOCK BUTTON TO SECURE CAR, DOORS CLICK TWICE BUT ALARM ENGAGEMENT SOUND OR LIGHT VERIFICATION DOES NOT HAPPEN. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM SO I AM SURE IF TAKEN TO DEALER IT WILL NOT HAPPEN OR THEY WILL NOT CONFIRM IT IS HAPPENING. I CAN NOT SEE ANY LOOSE WIRES, BLOCKED CONTACTS OR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT CAUSE PROBLEM. DON'T THINK IT IS THE BATTERY. ITS HAS TO BE A SHORT OR A COMPUTER PROBLEM.

BRAKE LIGHTS(ALL THREE) STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. DESPITE CHANGING FUSES AND BULBS, THEY STILL WILL NOT WORK. WIRES APPEAR TO CONNECT PROPERLY. *TR
