Stuge Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 The number of Tata Nano's burning down are increasing to an alarmingly high number. The latest incident has been reported from Delhi. A brother and sister according to the police has a miraculous escape after they got down the Nano just before fire engulfed it. The people travelling the nano smelt smoke coming from the car and immediately stopped the Nano. The Tata Nano had already caught fire and two fire tenders were brought to douse the fire after 15 minutes. Not much of the car could be saved. This is the fourth time a Tata Nano has been reported to have caught fire. It is surprising,m rather shocking that Tata Motors has not responde4d to these incidents yet. Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata had earlier said there could be a possibility of sabotage or improper use of parts. But no concrete reason has been found out yet. Will the Tata Nano be the first Indian car to be recalled by the central government's National Auto motive Board that will be set up to monitor safety in vehicles? India does not have a recall policy and carmakers have only recalled their cars in India after they did the same in other markets. All the fire accidents reported on the Tata Nano say the fire started in the rear where the engine is placed. Users of the Nano say they feel slight heat of the engine in the rear cabin. Does this indicate a reduced use of insulation? Tata Motors must respond to these situations quickly or risk losing the credibility and image it has built so far.

Stuge Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 I feel they should not sell Nano without further investigation .Right now Nano has built a reputation of car that can burn anytime .
Yoda-esque Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 They should call it Inferno instead of Nano
Pagalpanti Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 ^ :haha: This is real bad though. How can they not stop the sales till they actually find the problem or are they waiting till some causalities happen? :facepalm:
1983-2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 tata nano made in modi's gujarat, it burns like him:hysterical: on a serious note, the sales should be halted and investigation should be launched about technical faults in the car. the consumers would be better off buying a second hand car instead of buying this toy for 1 lakh
WC2011INDIA Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Nano is the worst thing Tata ever manufactured. Indica was much better. Too bad, Santro kicked its butt.
achilles Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Anyways people are not buying it. This will give them another reason to avoid Nano.
beetle Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 There have been burn cases in other brands too Last week a man got charred to death in an Alto.A few days back on Skoda got burnt.It is surprising how no one till now has ever even burnt a finger in these nano fires.Tatas should get some detectives on these cases.

Stuge Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 you will seldom see a new car right from the showroom getting burned .
nballa Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 when a car costs just one lakh its obvious there are substandard parts involved. gaskets etc which get into contact with hot oil (again due to a sub standard cooling system) will catch fire.

Can be the case as well, it has been very popular.

Deliberate sabotage cannot be ruled out.
