Tata Motors' low-cost car has earlier too been in the news for similar accidental fires on separate occasions. At least six Nano cars have been gutted so in various parts of the country, according to reports. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com...catches-fire-in-Delhi/articleshow/6446594.cms
And your point is? There are tens of thousands deaths by car accidents per year in India. Hell even cobras kill more than 30k people per year. Who cares if 6 cars catch fire? Ninna
Ferrari having some problems too. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/25/ferrari-reportedly-investigating-458-italia-fire-risk-w-video/
i don't know if exotics have a higher rate of catching fire, or if it's because they're rare so when one catches fire, it makes the news. but i personally know two people whose exotics spontaneously combusted. but when you're packing 500 horsepower in a very confined space, with a 23 gallon fuel tank, bad things can happen. oh, if it does catch fire do not extinguish it. it's better to total the car than to own a story car.
well, it a big figures about car accident, your government have any solution to reduce the number of this?
Seems like a lot of cars are having problems now. There is still the ongoing recall of a certain Toyota model and I just watched a Ferrari in flames. So we see it happening to low priced cars, medium priced and high priced car. I think car makers should start going back to the drawing table.
