Everest catches on fire

[Dobbie]

Geez.

Makes me feel a bit vindicated when I buy a new vehicle as I always ask for the model with the least electronics....partly because I struggle to understand them but they all seem over designed to me.

Having said that, I just got home after having to stop when ABS light came on and a warning popped up about it.

.

 

[Drover]

Having been on the Butt end of fire jokes with my Jeeperific I will refrain from making light of the matter....................drive a Holden and barrack for Ford at Bathurst and V8's, is bloody hard.

 

[Dobbie]

Whoops...hit wrong button!

Anyway....it took me 20 mins to find the book, then find the reference and then to follow instructions....ie stop, turn engine off, leave for a few minutes and turn engine on. All worked.

 

[Drover]

Just like a computer @Dobbie , shut down and reboot............can also be caused by some mud or crap splashed on the wheel sensor.

Be interesting if they tell people what caused the fire or hope time will dull the memory.

 

[Dobbie]

It'll be an interesting write up after that incident!

 

[Matty4]

At least it's in exalted company...

Past this onto a mate would picked up an Everest 2 weeks ago, it's OK though he's an Ex Firey

 

[Smergen]

I do recall some RG Colorado drivers getting a bit of stick recently about an exploding car?? Hmm... Here comes the Karma Bus.

 

[BigSkiddy]

I heard on the radio tonight that a warning alarm came up and the driver continued for another 10kms before it burst into flames.

Maybe the car was doing a DPF burn and got carried away...

I mostly always pull over straight away when the "YOUR CARS ABOUT TO EXPLODE IN A BALL OF FLAMES" light comes on.

I also too particular notice of the warning light... "DITCH THIS PIECE OF JUNK AND BUY A NISSAN"

seems it was wanting Ad Blue and he kept driving.. So the environmental stuff ad blue does is stops the car burning and spewing out toxic flames.. makes sense
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/bu...-on-a-test-drive/story-fnkjkgzy-1227632885607

Of course now its news worthy as it was a motoring writer.. They found more.
"JUST days after a Ford Everest family SUV burst into flames during a test drive, reports have emerged of four similar fires involving other Fords with the same engine and electrical system."

[Dobbie]

That's a real worry!

 

[achjimmy]

Me calls bullshit. Plenty of things been running ad blue now, and all they do if it runs out is goes into a limp mode! As for the electronics well again if they cause the fires it's just no different to dodgy fuel systems! Modern airplanes have enough electronics for a 100 cars and they seem to advoid bursting into flames? It'll be pisss poor design With these modern buzz boxes being designed to cram umpteen children in the back with folding seats I think the ATSB should get involved in an investigation? I'd certainly be rethinking any of these "jam another seat" in here models for my family?

Oh and maybe "life hammers " as standard fitment?

My previous employer had several Rangers catch fire in the same spot, directly behind the left headlight. Incaught mine in time, found the headlight dimmed stopped immediately to check and found the pouch glowing. News informed by the dealer this is regular and the plug is changed at services for this reason.

 

[Dobbie]

Surprised it wasn't a VW ....but they have enough problems.

 

[davemc]

It does not take me long to find a Disco on fire. I think if we all googled our cars we find one at least.
If it was not a motoring writer we never of seen it on the news

 

[Rockape]

I just read the article. Personally if my car was playing up, I certainly wouldn't keep driving it for another 3 days. It will be interesting to see what the investigation reveals. As for car fires, I agree with davemc, many manufacturers have suffered car fires

Optioned up with a diesel heater hey @Crusty181?

 

[Drover]

Adblue caused it ??? BS.. when the Addblue runs out the things usually go into a limp mode, bloody pain the stuff is, sensor problems and other rubbish...............

Lucky It didn't have Firestone tyres on it would have rolled and caught fire
