It burned completely. Fire Investigators said it was caused by workmanship.. there was no criminal act.

spontaneous fire while parked spontaneous fire while parked spontaneous fire while parked spontaneous fire while parked

VIN 5NPDH4AE8GH657539 (2016 Elantra SE, 11,000 miles on odometer) spontaneously ignited yesterday afternoon, 4/5/2016 @ ~3:45PM CDT (see pictures attached) while parked, destroying itself & both vehicles parked on either side of it. Had driven vehicle every days since purchased new Oct 2015, never a single hiccup or problem until it became a volcano yesterday. Had the incident occurred at a different time or place, I & others in or around this inferno could easily have been seriously injured or killed. Fortunately, no one was injured. Insurance company is sending a "fire cause & origin expert" to inspect the vehicle. The dealer says Hyundai Motor America has also initiated their own investigation, so it remains to be seen how this resolves.
