There may be possibility of electrical surge the issue should be after he off the engine their exist a wire touch that were burning slowly. May God protect us Amin.

But this doesn't look like 2016 Sienna na and where were u coming from around 1am?

Yes. It has happened to a friend before. Although his was after an hour. He fixed his car stereo earlier in that day.

Is this possible even after I have parked the car for Hours?



If Yes, then this might be what happened because I asked one of my boy to change the battery for me

that thing is very dangerous and I am 80% sure it's from the battery u asked someone to change. That's how I burnt a a Nissan 3 years ago after mech changed the battery and didn't tight the wires well.

This is one of the reasons it's advisable to buy quality automotive batteries and original battery terminals with adequate protection for your vehicles.

TRANE batteries gives you the extra protection (in-built terminal cover) alongside the battery thus your terminal will not touch the battery holder or bonnet or any iron causing ignition of fire.

Furthermore, Nigerians needs to abide by battery specifications prescribed by vehicle manufacturers (do not install 75ah battery for a vehicle with 60ah specification for instance).




Finally, don't forget your Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance from a reputable licensed Insurance company.

This is possible but the problem is that I have parked the car for hours only for neighbours to call around 3am(like 3hours later) to inform me about the car that is on fire

How e take relate to the post?

Quite possible.Almost happened to me...but I thank God I stepped out just in time. In my case, it was the tracker device in the car that somehow overheated and caught fire. Thank God I knew exactly where it was installed. I had to quickly remove the battery terminals and rip off the tracker device.

What’s the model of the car and yes it’s possible .. heard some German cars have that issue

Sorry for your loss.

I am 100% certain that this was the case. I had similar experience, I was still within the compound when I noticed flames coming out of the bonnet. It was put out on time. I lost a few plastics components under the hood. Sorry for your loss. Hope you're insured.

Nah!

But thanks

Is possible if the car "backfires" for that long.

Wanna learn more incase of next time

The "backfire" happens when you turn off the engine but after some seconds or immediate, the engine start making some sound as if its on and working silently, someone said the engine kind of roll anti clock, I don't really know much about it but it had happened to me before and the car almost got burnt, in fact, the foot mat at the front was already burning

It is possible scientifically but still investigate for Arson. Are you suspecting anyone? Do you have some documents that you think someone may want to destroy? Is someone fighting you? Do you have CCTV around that could help your investigation?

yes i have seen. It resulting from an electrical fault in the car engine. Some wires started to burn. It was the intervention of some people that ended the about to be inferno. And the owner who is the landlord was not around with the key. Have to break it open and disconnected the car battery

very possible, wiring problem, if some of the electric wires melting and wrong contact can cause gradual spark, if the owner doesn't notice on time and remove battery terminals, the car will eventually burn on its own.

Ask yourself, what have you done inside the car, where, when and with who prior the time you parked the car, you came back around 1am and parked the car

Fixed...
