Look at what happened with one of our Beloved National Car

[TOMEI-R]

I was watching tv this morning at home at aound 2:30am.
Suddenly my neighbour in his Kembara starting honking non stop.
I thought to myself...what the heck is the guy trying to do?
When I looked out of the window, I saw a neighbours Waja Up In
Flames and it was engulfing his house.

This is the morning pictures which I took of the car. According to the
owner, the car caught fire by itself. Could be some wiring problem or
something. So guys....what are your opinion?
Low workmanship or inferior National cars?

Oh yeah...the car is still in stock condtion. No modifications on it or
anything.

:O I thought only Gen2s have the wiring problem which causes fires. Shame on Proton, 20 years of building cars and they still can't get it right.

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

bravo bravo... proton boleh...
btw, is the ignition key off??.... alarm system wiring short circuited caused the fire??...

Remember a Volvo that caught fire in the Federal Highway. So its actually a lot of factors that cause a car to catch fire.

any car have risk of fire hence the need of insurance coverage. the chances are still considered very low.

some people quoted Peugoet and Citroen cars easily catch fire, but i still doubt it.

in my experience working in insurance line for 5 years, i had come across other car makes also involved in fire. amongst them was Mazda Astina, Merc W140 S-class, proton wira, perodua kancil, honda civics, the list goes on including Ssangyong Rexton.
one wira found after theft case burnt.

last week i attended 1 case, a ford courier.

normally the cause is short circuit of the wire harness. at times, after interviewing the car owner, we found out they had gone to accesory shop earlier, maybe 3 or 4 days before their car caught fire.

sometimes of coz, the fire was fraud...:lol:

i agree this topic should be closed.

actually we cant blame the manufacturers only, ...

we as the car owner must be aware also, when re-wire the car or adding additional accessories. example .. when adding amplifiers to our car .. must do proper fusage and wiring .. otherwise it could end-up like this also .. i had one of my friend using wira whom half burnt his car after 2 days he done sound system ... he just bought the car for a month ... adding and whichever fault raises with additional accessories added into our new car will void Proton warranty ... rite? ... we have to put ourself in other ppls shoe also ..

Thats y i started building my car after a year or two to avoid this matter and seek professionals to touch my car.. i dont want lowyah peoples and kids to wire or mod my car.. its too childish when i see some accessories shop hire people under 20's fixing players and wirings .. especially brother's and dragon sound.

TOMEI-R .... did u talked to ure neighbour and asked how did it happened? .. is the car wiring still in stock condition or he altered it? ;) .. he he im sure he has done some wiring modifications ... he he ... im suppose the car owner is a teen guy .. rite? ..

sad to him .. have him consult Proton guys or other paid professionals to have a look into his car .. its not hard to get someone experienced to have a look ... please guys .. please try putting some effort and extra money when doing cars.. we cant seek everything as FREE in this world. "U put money u get quality, U want FREE .. this is wat u get !" ;)


Cheers!

True..agree with Sakuraguy. Using cheap cable to mod also can cause short circuit as the voltage overload and cause heat, thus melt the rubber..

 

[Fluffy]

it seems that any car can catch on fire..
under different circumstances..

summary? = shit happens..

 

[zephyr3d]

worst case scenario.. i rather get mechanical breakdown than fire man... fire totally destroys everything.
