Mahindra Thar on fire
Until now, everyone had become accustomed to hearing about the incident of fire in electric scooters one after another. But in Mahindra Thar such an incident is practically unintended. The owner of the car told vlogger Prateek Singh that he was out with the car as usual that day. Saw a sudden power drop. When he stopped the car and investigated the reason, he noticed the smoke. which was coming out from under the bonnet. Within a few minutes, the entire car was engulfed in flames.
The person said the check engine light came on twice before the incident. But this is not the first time, the car’s check engine light has come on before. The car owner complained that the matter was reported to the Mahindra service center at that time but they did not take it seriously. He even claimed that no aftermarket accessories were used in the car. Rather only accessories bought from dealerships were used in it.
However, the person is skeptical about the cause of the fire. He informed the insurance company and dealership about this news. But no reply has come yet from either side. However, this is not the first time that Thar has caught fire. Earlier such incidents were seen in Haryana.
