Fires promote SUV investigation

Investigations, when it comes to automobiles, seem to come at even the slightest of complaints, whether something that is big or small. However, in the case of 2 reported SUVs that caught fire when they were sitting...idle...as in not running...that can cause some concern....(ya think?)

The issue could affect some 423,000 vehicles, but according to a GM spokesperson, the automaker doesn't think it's a widespread pattern or trend. The NHTSA will be investigating this, but if you remember, this is not something new with SUVs--back in August there were several Ford trucks that were igniting even when parked due faulty cruise controls.

I understand that safety testing is as defined as it can be, but wow---nothing like having the fear that you can be sitting in your garage and POOF...Now, that's a fire!!!
