| 1997 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE | WHILE DRIVING ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK |
| 2008 | ENGINE | THIS IS PART 2 OF 3... WE GOT A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AT ADVANCED AUTO. CAR RAN FINE. THE NEXT MORNING , SHE STARTED THE CAR AND THEN WENT INTO THE HOUSE. MY NIECE WAS THERE AND SAID SHE HEARD A POP AND LOOK OUTSIDE TO SEE THE CAR ON FIRE. THE WHOLE FRONT END INCLUDING THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WAS BURNT TO A CRISP. I BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED WAS A FAULTY PART IN THE ABS (CAUSING THE LIGHT TO COME ON) WAS SHORTING OR SOMETHING AND THAT KEPT DRAINING THE BATTERY. WITH THE BATTERY LOW, THE BATTERY WOULD DIE BEFORE ENOUGH HEAT COULD BUILD UP, HOWEVER, WITH THE NEW BATTERY, IT COULD CONTINUE TO PULL POWER AND HEAT UP WHATEVER FAULTY PART WAS SHORTING OUT AND THEN GOT HOT ENOUGH TO BLOW AND CAUSE FIRE. (CONTINUED IN NEXT POST) 3 OF 3... *TR |
