Lately, most stories of cars suddenly catching fire in driveways or garages involve EVs, but it happens with conventional vehicles too, as a 2015 Nissan Murano demonstrated when it spontaneously combusted in a family’s driveway. The blaze was alarming.
Vehicle fires aren’t exclusive to electric cars, despite the recent headlines. The incident is a reminder that any vehicle can pose a fire risk, and that owners should stay alert to warning signs regardless of what powers their car.
