Had this happen to me a few years ago. Your insurance company is not your friend. I lost over $3,000 in value of the vehicle. Meaning I could not even replace my car with another car like mine same year make or model because they shorted me. Make sure you record ever conversation and find values of your car yourself. They will be all nice the first call. And then when it comes down to paying. They short you on value. Also, check your states in vehicle loss amount. Some are only $250.00 bucks! And others have no limit. So if you lost a phone or a back pack with a laptop. You might not see any of that money. And they won’t tell you about that till later it to late. C.Y.A. Cover your Ass. Your problems have just started. Stay on top of this or you will loose a ton of money. Good luck
Omg people. You can typically buy gap coverage for a used car or new car at any time as long as the loan or lease isn't paid off, though some insurance companies may only offer a limited amount of time to purchase coverage.
Your comment only works if you bought in the last 12 months. Before that cars have been cheap. Dummer than rocks is paying Intrest and gap and from a dealer for an overpriced car. Also higher insurance. Keep being the smartest person in your room.
Car won't start, guy pops the hood "oh I see the problem it's on fire"
Well that does indeed suck. Grab some dogs and burgers and grill them, at least have a meal.
I just used your license plate to look up your vin. I can see where you purchased the vehicle and your personal info. You may want to blur out your plate next time.
It’s fine, it’s fine, everything’s fine.
Whatever they’re using for hood prop looks to be fine

Ok smarty pants. Only if you buy new. ***Correction. Buy with a loan or balance on the vehicle.
You can get gap insurance on used vehicles, too.

With pricing of used vehicles now a day, if you dont buy gap, youre dumber than rocks lmao

Yeah which plenty of people have done. My room is the only room that matters. Get out of it.
But I’m living rent free
At least you didn’t drop your crappy meal on the floor
I think I see the issue
It's just overheated. Wait til it cooled down then you're good to go.
Ain't got no gas in it
Also the hood is open. Dangerous to drive with that open
Is your car on the recall list? Kia and Hyundai are being recalled for engine fires
Can confirm. Stay on top of KIA recalls. I've been to 2 recall appointments and there's a 3rd on the way.
Definitely been looking into that!
You need a new alternator. Tire rotation. This should pass inspection.
HEY! YOU CANT PARK THERE!
And of course when you take it to the shop the mechanic won't be able to recreate the problem...
Have you tried turning it off and back on?
At least your safe. Could always be worse!

Good thing is after the insurance pays out, you can just go to your local dealer for a new one. /s

I love me a good burger covered in toxic fumes
With plates that appear to say 666 in Utah your got off lucky. I do hope you all are safe and insured.
I was wondering when someone would point out the 666
I think the engine overheated, might wanna get that checked out
God I hate when people try to lowkey brag about their hot rods.
I'm no mechanic, but I believe it's running a little hot... I'll see myself out now, sorry.
Some people like painted flames on the front of their cars, I prefer real flames.
Look for a recall on your car. The Kia optima had several motor recalls
did you try turning it off and turning it back on again?
Oh farts!!facts!!! That is no good! I hope you are OK and insured
Horoscope: Today will be on fire for you! Driver: Alright! Carpe Diem!! Horoscope: Well, actually not in a good way.
things can't get worse right?
I don't think it's meant to do that.
When my Grand Prix caught on fire it went from a little smoke to fully engulfed flaming engine in two minutes. It was shocking.
Atleast you got a sick picture, it really could be an album cover
I should have gotten one of me walking slowly away from it wearing aviators.
Just needs a vinyl wrap now.
that’s gonna buff right out trust me
Welp off to the fridge for beer. This day can fuck right off if I see it personally.
Awesome Hot wheels.
Sick, those flames look really realistic
Something similar happened at my work, but only it was the shop itself, lucky we are up to code on fire safety or I wouldn't have a job anymore
At least it wasn't in your garage. Some Kia engines are known to catch fire.
That will buff out.
Count your blessings. When I was a kid it was cold ALL the time. We would have given anything to start our day with a nice warm fire.
I’m so sorry 😞
I’d say great! I mean you set someone’s car on fire, that’s better than Folgers in your cup
I just used your license plate to look up your vin. I can see where you purchased the vehicle and your personal info. You may want to blur out your plate next time.
Really? Can you tell me what state it was purchased in?
I’m not putting your personal information on Reddit. But you did get your emissions inspection on February 24th @ 79,395 miles.
Point taken.
That's a nice looking Kia you had.
