They just keep coming

....and I have a feeling it's going to get worse with the increase of EV sales.

Sometimes I am driving and wonder what is in my vehicle that is a potential hazard that nobody knows about yet.

I'm sure glad everyone stopped buying Ford Explorers and Firestone tires. Good riddance to those-2.

Can't be. I thought H/Ks were the best vehicles on the planet? At least you'd think so with all of their fans in here...

But... but... but, they said only Teslas catch on fire!

Most always it is something electrical that causes any car fires, just like house fires.
A gasoline leak will only burn if there is an open flame or spark to ignite it. A hot surface will not light it, oils will light on a hot surface.
Just do the test.
