I bought a 2008 kia Sportage at osage beach mo on July 12, 2016. I sent it to ghana in August, 2016 and cleared from the port in November, 2016. The said car was parked for several hours at hospital on August 21, 2018 and caught fire at 10. 00pm the same day. The fire service was called and put out the fire.
